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 Rome and passed the 'Hound Dog' singer's 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 loose around the world But the call of home is loud Still as loud
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre And felt the silence hanging low in Nomansland And though those Spanish nights were fine It wasn't only from the wine It still seems all in hand
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 loose around the world But the call of home is loud Still as loud
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on And though those arigato 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 loose around the world But the call of home is loud Still as loud
