Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down
Even the old bartender is a high as a steeple
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay
[Verse 4]
Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay
[Verse 5]
Why ask how I feel?
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker
Lost my captain and my crew
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
This hotel bar has lost its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender's asleep in the corner
So why must I still be here, I don't know
[Verse 9]
Let me tell ya
[Verse 10]
I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay
[Verse 11]
I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay
[Verse 12]
Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay
[Verse 13]
Well, I'm a million miles
I'm a million miles
I'm a million miles
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay
