"A Million Miles Away (Live)" lyrics

"A Million Miles Away (Live)"
(originally by 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 surround me
But I'll break out after a while

Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay
Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay

Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay
Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay

Ask me 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 find me
Looking out to the deep blue sea

There's a song on the lips of everybody
Smiles all around the room
The conversation overflowing
But I sit here in the gloom
Hotel bar has lost all its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender's collapsed in the corner
But I'm still here, I don't know

Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay
Well, I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay, on a windy bay

Said I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay
I'm a million miles away
A million miles away
Sailing like driftwood
On a windy bay

Thank you very much, it's been an honor
