Million Miles lyrics

You took a part of me that I really miss
I keep askin myself how long it can go on like this
You told yourself a lie - that s alright, mama, I told myself one too
I ve tried to get closer but I m still a million miles from you.

You took the silver, you took the gold
You left me standin out in the cold
People ask about you, I didn t tell them everything I knew
Well, I ve tried to get closer but I m still a million miles from you.

I m driftin in and out of dreamless sleep
Throwin all my memories in a ditch so deep
Did so many things I never did intend to do
Well, I ve tried 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 ve tried 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 talkin to somebody but I just don t know who
Well, I ve tried to get closer but I m still a million miles from you.

Yes, the last thing you said before ya hit the street
Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet
I said, "That s all right, mamma, you, you do what you gotta do"
Well, I ve tried 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 m tryin to get closer but I m still a million miles from you.

Well, there s voices in the night tryin to be heard
I m sittin here listening to every mind-pollutin word
I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
Yes, I m tryin to get closer but I m still a million miles from you.
