Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Why ask how I feel?
Well, how does it look to you?
That's where you'll see me
There's conversation overflowing
There's a smile all 'round the room
Well, I'm a million miles
So why must I still be here?, I don't know, let me tell you
I'm standing on the landing
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
Looking out on the deep blue sea
There's a song on the lips of everybody
Lost my captain and my crew
I'm a million miles away
I fell hook, line and sinker
And my mood is really not in style
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
On a windy bay
I'm a million miles, I'm a million miles
The piano man has caught the last bus home
Sailing like a driftwood
I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
But I'll break out after a while
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
So why must I sit here in the gloom
Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple
This hotel bar has lost all its people
Sailing like a driftwood
Yes, I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Right now the blues flock to surround me
The joint is jumping all around me
On a windy bay
And there's no one there but me
The old bartender sleeps in the corner
