CLÁSSICOS PARA A VIDA ETERNA

HOMEWARD BOUND (1976) PAUL SIMON & GEORGE HARRISON

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

I'm sitting in the railway station

Got a ticket to 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 one-man band

----

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

----

Home, where my thought's 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

----

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

----

Home, where my thought's escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

----

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 emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

----

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

----

Home, where my thought's escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Silently for me
