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
