1. You took a part of me that I really miss.
I keep asking myself how long it can go like this.
You told yourself a lie; that`s all right mama, I told myself one
too.
I`m trying to get closer but I`mstill a million miles from you.
2. You took the silver, you 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 closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
3. 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 closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
4. 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 just what it`s all coming to.
Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
5. 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.
Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
6. 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'.
Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m stil a million miles from you.
7. Rock me pretty baby rock me `til everything gets real.
Rock me for a little while rock me `til there`s nothing left to feel.
And I`ll rock you too.
I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
8. Well there`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.
Yes I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
