Story Notes: A filk inspired by the S & G song with this name.
Janeway's POV.
"HOMEWARD BOUND" FILK
I'm sittin' at my duty station
Course laid for my destination
Throughout the Delta Quadrant span
Tricorder and phaser in hand
Missions don't go quite as planned
For a captain and her intrepid band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, where Starfleet's playin'
Home, where my love is waiting faithfully for me
The years go by--it's the same old scene
Of nebulae and plasma streams
Each planet looks the same to me
The allies and the enemies
And every alien face I see
Reminds me that I long to be…
Homeward bound
You know, I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where our message came in
Home, where no Maquis remainin'
Home, where my love once waited faithfully for me
Today I'll be on the bridge again
I'll play the game, and pretend
My choices keep coming back to me
In shades of mediocrity
A command team in disharmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, we're anticipatin'
Home, will my love keep waiting patiently for me?
