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
