    		Homeward Bound by Paul Simon. Partial lyrics below.

    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,

    Homeward bound in Horsey Horsey rhyme below.

    Horsey horsey don't you stop
    Just let your feet go clippetty clop
    The tail goes swish and the wheels go round
    Giddy up, we're homeward bound.
