Million Miles Lyrics - Time Out Of Mind - 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; that's all right mama, I 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 

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 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 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
