Strum
D-DU-UDU
  I'm  sittin in a railway station
  Got a ticket  for my destination
  On  a tour of one night stands
  My suitcase  and guitar in hand
  And every  stop is neatly planned
  For a poet  and a one man band
 
 Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound
  | Home,  where my thoughts  escaping
  | Home,  where my music's  playing
  | Home,  where my love  lies waiting
  | Silently for  me
  Every  day's an endless stream
  Of cigarettes  and magazines
  And each  town looks the same to me
  The movies  and the factories
  And every  stranger's face I see
  Reminds  me that I long to be
  CHORUS
  Tonight  I'll sing my songs again
  I'll play  the game and pretend
  But all  my words come back to me
  In shades  of mediocrity
  Like emptyness  in harmony
  I need  someone to comfort me.
  CHORUS ...
  Silently  for me  ...
