A Million Miles Away Lyrics - Irish Tour '74 - Rory Gallagher

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 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
