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 
Thats alright mama I told myself one too 
I try 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 asked about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew 
Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you 

I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep 
Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep 
Did so many things I never did intend to do 
And I try 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, tell us just what its all coming to 
Well I try 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 try 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 thats alright mama you, you do what you gotta do 
Well I try 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 months 
And I'll rock you too 
I try 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 sittin' here listenin' to every mind-pollutin' word 
I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two 
Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
