A Million Miles Away

a  million  miles  away  -  rory  gallagher

this  hotel  bar  is  full  of  people

the  piano  man  is  really  laying  it  down

even  the  old  bartender  is  as  high  as  a  steeple

so  why  tonight  should  i  wear  a  frown?

the  joint  is  jumping  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

well,  i'm  a  million  miles  away

i'm  a  million  miles  away

sailing  like  a  driftwood

on  a  windy  bay

yes,  i'm  a  million  miles  away

i'm  a  million  miles  away

sailing  like  a  driftwood

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

and  there's  no  one  there  but  me

that's  where  you'll  see  me

looking  out  on  the  deep  blue  sea

there's  a  song  on  the  lips  of  everybody

there's  a  smile  all  'round  the  room

there's  conversation  overflowing

so  why  must  i  sit  here  in  the  gloom

this  hotel  bar  has  lost  all  its  people

the  piano  man  has  caught  the  last  bus  home

the  old  bartender  sleeps  in  the  corner

so  why  must  i  still  be  here?,  i  don't  know,  let  me  tell  you

i'm  a  million  miles  away

i'm  a  million  miles  away

sailing  like  a  driftwood  on  a  windy  bay

i'm  a  million  miles  away

i'm  a  million  miles  away

sailing  like  a  driftwood  on  a  windy  bay

yes,  i'm  a  million  miles  away

i'm  a  million  miles  away

sailing  like  a  driftwood  on  a  windy  bay

well,  i'm  a  million  miles

i'm  a  million  miles,  i'm  a  million  miles

sailing  like  a  driftwood  on  a  windy  bay,  oh,  oh  yeah
