A Million Miles Away (Remastered 2017)

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
