This hotel
bar is full of people,
The piano
man is really laying it down,
The old
bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why
tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint
is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood
is really not in style,
Right now
the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll
break out after a while.
Yes I'm a
million miles away,
I'm a
million miles away,
I'm sailing
like a driftwood,
On a windy
bay,
On a windy
bay.
I'm a
million miles away,
I'm a
million miles away,
But I'm sailing
like a driftwood,
On a windy
bay,
On a windy
bay.
Why ask how
I feel,
Well, how
does it look to you?
I fell
hook, line and sinker,
Lost my
captain and my crew.
I'm
standing on the landing,
There's no
one there but me,
That's
where you'll find me,
Looking out
on the deep blue sea.
There's a
song on the lips of everybody,
There's a
smile all around the room,
There's
conversation overflowing,
But I sit
here with the blues.
This hotel
bar has lost all its people,
The piano
man has caught the last bus home,
The old
bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Why I'm
still here, I just don't know,
I don't
know.
I'm a
million miles away,
A million
miles away,
I'm sailing
like a driftwood on a windy bay,
On a windy
bay.
I'm a
million miles away,
A million
miles away,
I'm sailing
like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Send me away...
(I’m a
million miles away - Rory Gallagher)
