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.
