Tom: G G D Bm Em 1. I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination, mm. Am F on a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand, G and every stop is neatly planned, for a poet and a one man band C G C Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound, G F home, where my thought's escaping, G F home, where my music's playing, G F D G home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. G D Bm Em 2. Everyday's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines, mm Am F and each town looks the same to me , the movies and the factories, G and every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be. + REFRAIN G D Bm Em 3. Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, mm, Am F but all my words come back to me, in shades of mediocrity, G like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. G Em G Em + REFRAIN + silently for me, silently for me ... (rep. and fade)
