Lyrics:

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 ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a 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.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines.

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And ev'ry 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.

Was this really 38 years ago? How can that be, when it feels like yesterday!

Does anyone remember the opening for the show, when Paul was singing, "He's so fine, my sweet Lord" as he entered the NBC building for the show? Then we saw George haggling with Lorne Michaels about how much he should be paid. All or 1/4 of the $3,000 Lorn had offered the Beatles to appear on the show. It was a great episode!

I'd love to see a special with Paul Simon and Paul McCartney on stage with guitars, swapping each others songs. It could go on for hours.
