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 fell 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
