A Million Miles Away (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 18th January 1977)

[Intro]
This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down
The old bartender is high as a steeple
So why tonight should I wear a frown?

[Verse 1]
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, I'll break out after a while

[Chorus]
Yes, 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
This hotel bar lost all its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender, he just collapsed in the corner
But I'm still here on my own, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, I'm a million miles away
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
Sailing away, Lord, yeah

[Outro]
Thank you very much indeed
Thanks a lot, thank you
