million miles

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.
