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 it's 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
