Lyrics - Million Miles by Bob Dylan

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 it’s 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
