Bob Dylan - Million Miles

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 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
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
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 tryin' 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 talking to somebody
but I just don't know who
Well, I'm tryin' to get closer
but I'm still a million miles from you
It's 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 tryin' to get closer
I'm still a million miles from you
Rock me, pretty baby
rock 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
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 tryin' to get closer
but I'm still a million miles from you
