Lyrics
Homeward Bound
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hes waiting at the station
Hes not taking any train
Hes a kid from Colorado
Counting the raindrops in the drain
Hes sleeping in the tunnel
Hes not edging for the
Hes a lonesome river swimmer
Wondering where the river went
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Whos gunna carry him carry him down
Theres a landlord on the benches theres a posse on the train
Theres an angel up in heaven
Who forgot somebodies name
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Who's gunna carry him carry him down
[Repeat until end]
