Bob Dylan - Million Miles lyrics

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

Thats alright mama I told myself one too

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 standing out in the cold

People asked 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

Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep

Did so many things I never did intend to do

And I try 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, tell us just what its all coming to

Well 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

Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who

Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Yes the last thing you said before you hit the street

Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet

I said thats alright mama you, you do what you gotta do

Well I try 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 try 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 sittin' here listenin' to every mind-pollutin' word

I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two

Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
