You took a part of me
That I really miss
I keep askin' myself
"How long can it go on like this?"
You told yourself a lie
That's all right, I told myself one, too
Well, I try 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 try to get closer,
But I'm still a million miles from you
I'm driftin' in and out
Of dreamless sleep
Somewhow my memory's in a ditch
A ditch so deep
I did some many things
I never did intend to do
And I try 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
I feel like talkin' to somebody
I just don't know who
Well I try to get closer,
But I'm still a million miles from you
Rock me pretty baby
Rock me all at once
Rock me for a little while
And rock me for a couple of months
You know, honey, I'll rock you, too
Well I try 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 listenin' to every
Mind pollutin' word
And I know, I know plenty of people
That'd put me up for a day or two
Yes, I try to get closer,
But I'm still a million miles
Yes, I try to get closer,
But I'm still a million miles from you
