Lyric 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
