I've seen the yellow lights go down in Mississippi |
|
I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real |
|
I've had a red light of the wrist |
|
Without me even gettin' kissed |
|
It still seems so unreal |
|
I've seen the mornings in the mountains of Alaska |
|
I've seen the sun set 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 |
|
Lettin' 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 no mans land |
|
And all 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 |
|
Lettin' 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 all those arigato smiles |
|
Stay in your memory for a while |
|
There still seems more to come |
|
With my head up in the clouds |
|
And I'm far far away |
|
With my feet down in the crowds |
|
Lettin' loose around the world |
|
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 |
|
Lettin' loose around the world |
|
But the call of home is loud, still as loud |
