Million Miles

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 trying to get closer but I’m still a million miles from you [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 trying to get closer. I’m still a million miles from you [Verse 7] Rock me, pretty baby; rock me ’till everything gets real Rock me for a little while; rock me ’till there’s nothing left to feel And I’ll rock you too I’m trying to get closer but I’m still a million miles from you [Verse 8] 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 trying to get closer but I’m still a million miles from you
