Letra:

[English]

I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination

Mm, mm

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

Homeward-bound

I wish I was homeward-bound

Home, where my thoughts are escaping

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

Mm, mm

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 thoughts are escaping

Home, where my music's playin'

Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend

Mm, mm, mm

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 thoughts are escaping

Home, where my music's playin'

Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Silently for me

Gramática:

  • I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination

    ➔ Presente Continuo (sitting) para una acción que está ocurriendo ahora; Elipsis (omisión de 'I have' en 'got a ticket')

    ➔ Esta línea usa el Presente Continuo, "sittin'", para describir una acción que está sucediendo en el momento de hablar. La elipsis de "I have" en "got a ticket" es común en el habla informal y en las letras de canciones.

  • And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band

    ➔ Voz Pasiva (is planned); Uso de "for" para indicar propósito

    "Is planned" está en voz pasiva, enfatizando que la planificación se hizo al hablante/intérprete, no por el hablante. "For" indica el propósito de la planificación: acomodar al intérprete.

  • Home, where my thoughts are escaping

    ➔ Cláusula Relativa (where my thoughts are escaping) usando "where" como adverbio relativo.

    "Where" introduce una cláusula relativa que modifica a "Home". Se refiere al lugar donde ocurre la acción de la cláusula.

  • Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines

    ➔ Concordancia Sujeto-Verbo (Day's/is); Uso del genitivo "'s" para indicar posesión/atribución.

    "Day's" es una contracción de "Day is". La 's muestra que el flujo interminable se atribuye a o es una característica de cada día en la gira.

  • And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

    ➔ Concordancia Sujeto-Verbo (face reminds); Cláusula Sustantiva (that I long to be) como objeto de "reminds".

    ➔ El sujeto singular "face" concuerda con el verbo singular "reminds". La cláusula "that I long to be" funciona como el objeto directo del verbo "reminds".

  • But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

    ➔ Frase Preposicional (in shades of mediocrity); Concordancia Sujeto-Verbo (words come)

    "In shades of mediocrity" es una frase preposicional que modifica el verbo "come back". "Words" está en plural, por lo que el verbo también está en plural.

  • Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

    ➔ Inversión (I need someone; orden normal de las palabras); Infinitivo de propósito (to comfort me).

    ➔ La estructura "I need someone to comfort me" es una estructura típica. "To comfort me" muestra el propósito de necesitar a alguien.
