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, that's all right mama I told myself one too
 
 I'm trying 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 ask about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew
 ♪
 Well, I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
 ♪
 I'm drifting in and out of dreamless sleep
 Throwing all my memories in a ditch so deep
 Did so many things I never did intend to do
 ♪
 Well, I'm trying 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'm trying 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'm trying 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, "That's alright mama, you, you do what you gotta do"
 Well, I'm trying 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 box
 ♪
 And I'll rock you too

 I'm trying 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 sitting here listening to every mind-polluting word
 I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
 Yes, I'm trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
