Million Miles

You took a part of me that I really miss I keep asking myself how long it can go on like this You told yourself a lie, that's all right mama, I told myself one too I'm trying to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you You took the silver, you took the gold You left me standing out in the cold People ask about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew Well, I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you I'm drifting in and out of dreamless sleep Throwing all my memories in a ditch so deep Did so many things I never did intend to do Well, I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low I need every bit of it for the places that I go Sometimes I wonder just what it's all coming to Well, I'm tryin' to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who Well, I'm tryin' to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you The last thing you said before you hit the street "Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet" I said, "That's all right mama, you, you do what you gotta do" Well, I'm tryin' to get closer, I'm still a million miles from you Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel And I'll rock you too I'm tryin' to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word I know plenty of people who would put me up for a day or two Yes, I'm tryin' to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
