Lyrics:
I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for 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 a one-man band
[Chorus:]
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escapin', home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' 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
[Chorus]
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 and harmony, I need someone to comfort me
[Chorus repeats 2x]
Silently for me

The way that George sings the word “magazines” is the most George Harrison thing I’ve ever heard. His voice is so unique.
-
What the heck?! 2023 and I'm hearing/seeing this for the first time?! It's so beautiful and special that I'm wiping tears away.
-
I love how the audience just can't contain their applause as George wraps up the second verse. Chills.
-
When I saw this as a kid I thought that George Harrison was an old man with a long history of being with the Beatles and a solo career. He was just 33.
-
I am a Paul Simon fan since 1966, and the Beatles fan, George Harrison, since 1963. I had never heard this before. It is so moving, and brilliant. RIP George ❤
-
This is a gem and why we watch YouTube.
-
George totally nails that second verse
-
George looks radiant and sounds great. Was he not about the coolest guy ever?
-
George's talent was beyond unmeasurable. He surrounded himself with the cream of the crop. Paul Simon is so smooth and flawless as well. Wonderful collaboration of voices.
-
Pauls an amazing songwriter, but George steals the show here. Both super talented who did really well as individual artists.
-
It's the look on Simon's face when George plays that little lick at the end that says it all ...❤
-
That little guitar lick George plays at the end of the song is just.....well, pretty awesome. And by the look on Paul Simon's face as George was playing it, he probably thought the same thing.
-
two giants. what a privilege to see them singing together.
-
I love George’s smile at the audience’s recognition
-
It's Paul Simon's song but when George sings, it sounds like it's floating down from Heaven.
-
Put this in a time capsule, and preserve it for future civilizations. It’s about the best we can offer.
-
Interesting how the audience reacted when George started singing. And I love George’s bluesy little lick at the end of the song.
-
George is so good at harmony. Plenty of experience at that!
-
There was, as is, a quality to George's voice that surpassed both Paul and John. Emotion, storytelling, I don't know exactly what it is, but maybe that's the magic- not being able to put it into words. I'll just have to keep listening to his work, looking for the answer.

George knew absolutely everyone
