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.

O título “Homeward Bound” foi escrito por Paul Simon enquanto esperava por um trem na estação de Widnes, na Inglaterra, onde hoje há um brasão comemorativo da ocasião.
A faixa foi gravada nas sessões do segundo álbum, *Sounds of Silence*, mas só apareceu no álbum de estreia nos EUA, *Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme*, em 1966.
“Homeward Bound” alcançou o quinto lugar na Billboard Hot 100, ficou 12 semanas na parada e chegou ao segundo lugar no Canadá, consolidando o duo como superstars internacionais.
Em 1972, uma versão ao vivo de “Homeward Bound” foi lançada no álbum *Greatest Hits* de Simon & Garfunkel.
O duo retornou ao palco para interpretar a canção em 1981, durante a famosa reunião no Central Park.
