poet and .....
Verse 1:
I'm sitting in the railway station, got a
Ticket for my destination
Mm_________
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
Chorus : (Strum Chords)
G C G
Homeward bound, I wish I was,
C
Homeward bound.
G * *(w/Fill 1)
Home, where my thoughts escaping,
G *
Home, where my music's playing,
G * D7
Home, where my love lies waiting, silently for me.
Verse 2:
Every day's an endless stream of
Cigarettes and magazines
Mmm_______
Each town looks the same to me, the
Movies and the factories
And every strangers face I see
Reminds me that I long to be.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll
Play the game and pretend
Mmm________
But all my words come back to me in
Shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me.
Chorus :
