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
