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 mamaI told myself one too
I m trying to get closer but I m still a million miles from you
You took the silveryou 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 closerbut 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 closerbut I m still a million miles from you
I need your love so badturn your lamp down low
I need every bit of it for the places that I go
Sometimes I wonder just what it s all coming to
Well I m tryin to get closerbut 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
WellI m tryin to get closer but I m still a million miles from you
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 all right mama.... you..... you do what you gotta do"
WellI m tryin to get closer; I m still a million miles from you
Rock mepretty babyrock me til everything gets real
Rock me for a little whilerock me til there s nothing left to feel
And I ll rock you too
I m tryin to get closer but I m still a million miles from you
Wellthere s voices in the night trying to be heard
I m sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I know plenty of people who would put me up for a day or two
YesI m tryin to get closer but I m still a million miles from you
