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 mamaI 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 It's 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 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
