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.
