Song facts
Paul played a concertina or ‘squeezebox,’ which was recorded on one of the castle balconies, overlooking the English Channel. An understated, but compelling, gospel-tinged solo showcase, it’s one of the overlooked gems in his canon.

Lyrics
How many million miles, Deo
How many million miles, Deo
When I get up, up, up in the morning
Oh Lord I know
When I look up, up, up, in the evening
Oh Lord I know
How many million miles, Deo
How many million miles, Deo
How many million miles, Deo
