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
