homeward going

[navi tasan]

1) I am homeward going.
Is this sentence correct?
Is it old-fashioned or could it be used today?

Is 'going' a verb or is it part of the compound adjective 'homeward-going' (I suppose in the latter case one would need a hyphen)?

The question was inspired by a verse in the song The Sea Refuses No River by Pete Townshend.
The line is:
And this river is homeward flowing.

I changed the sentence because I wanted a 'regular' setting and not the context of a poem or a song lyric (which permit certain liberties).

It's OK.

I would say "homeward going" is a predicate. (Let's see what Piscean has to say.)

"I'm on my way home" is probably more natural.

… or ‘I’m homeward bound’.

It is not correct in standard English. It's poetic licence for the rather dated "I am going homeward". Stick to the suggestions from Tarheel and Rover.
