This hotel bar is full of people,
the piano man is really laying it down
The old bartender is a high as a steeple,
so why tonight should I wear a frown?
(Yes, I'm a...)
Million miles away,
I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Why ask how I feel
how does it look to you?
I feel hook, line and sinker,
I 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
This hotel bar is full of people,
the piano man is really laying it down
The old bartender is a high as 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 want to surround me
but I'll break out after a while
Well, I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Why ask how I feel,
well, how does it look to you?
I feel hook line and sinker,
I 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 on the deep blue see
There's a song on the lips of everybody,
there's a smile all around the room
There's conversation overflowing,
so why must I sit here in the gloom?
This hotel bar lost all its people,
the piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender is asleep in the corner,
so why must I still be here, I don't know
Well, I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood
on a windy bay
