Ten thousand miles I’ve travelled,
Ten thousand miles an’ more,
Now I found myself standing,
Outside of my babies door.

I’ve been gone such a long time,
I never thought I would return,
Now I found myself standing in the rain,
Waiting for your key to turn, yeah, yeah.
Evil wind, passed me by,
Troubled waters, pay me no mind. I have heard the thunder,

Rolling across the sky, I have seen the morning sun,
Burn on a mountain high, I have crossed the waters
That will keep them miles apart, Now I know the time has come
To make a brand new start.

Evil wind, passed me by, Troubled waters, pay me no mind, Yeah.
Fly plane I’m coming home again, Plane fly, like an eagle
through the sky, Evil wind, troubled water, Pay me no mind; pay me no mind, oh.

Oh, yeah.
Evil wind, passed me by,
Troubled waters, pay me no mind, yeah.
