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 sung 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 no man's land

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

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

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 (far, far away)

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

And l'm far, far away, but the sound of home is loud

Still as loud
