作词 : Dylan
You took a part of me that I really miss

I keep askin' myself how long it can go on like this

You told yourself a lie - that's alright, mama, I told myself one too

I've tried 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've tried to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you.

I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep

Throwin' all my memories in a ditch so deep

Did so many things I never did intend to do

Well, I've tried 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 'til it's just what it's all coming to

Well, I've tried 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 talkin' to somebody but I just don't know who

Well, I've tried to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you.

Yes, the last thing you said before ya hit the street
Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet
I said, "That's all right, mamma, you, you do what you gotta do"

Well, I've tried 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'm tryin' 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 listening to every mind-pollutin' word

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

Yes, I'm tryin' to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you.
