Intro

 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 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, &c...

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi

The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on

And though those aligator smiles

Stay in your memory for a while

There still seems more to come

And I'm far, far away &c...

(twice!)
