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 'til it's just what it's all coming to Well, I'm trying 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 trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you Yes, 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 alright mama, you, you do what you gotta do" Well, I'm trying to get closer, I'm still a million miles from you Rock me, pretty baby, rock me all at once Rock me for a little while, rock me for a couple of box And I'll rock you too I'm trying 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 put me up for a day or two Yes, I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
