I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi I've seen the bridges of the world and they are for real I've had a red light off the wrist without me even getting kissed It still seems so unreal I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west I've sang the glory that was Roman past the hound dogs sing us home It still seems for the best And I'm far, far away With my head up in the clouds And I'm far, far away With my feet down in the crowds Letting blues surround the world But the call of hope is loud, still as loud I've seen the price lights turn high upon Montmartre And felt the silence hang below no man's land And all those sledge snakes were fine, it wasn't only from the wine It still seems all it had And I'm far, far away With my head up in the clouds And I'm far, far away With my feet down in the crowds Letting blues surround the world But the call of hope is loud, still as loud I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on And those that got the smiles stay in your memory for a while There still seems more to come And I'm far, far away With my head up in the clouds And I'm far, far away With my feet down in the crowds Letting blues surround the world But the call of hope is loud, still as loud And I'm far, far away With my head up in the clouds And I'm far, far away With my feet down in the crowds And I'm far, far away But the sound of hope is loud, still as loud
