I've seen the yellow lights
go down the 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 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
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
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
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
