Million Miles Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 You took a part of me

2 That I really miss

3 I keep askin' myself

4 "How long can it go on like this?"

5 You told yourself a lie

6 That's all right, I told myself one, too

7 Well, I try to get closer,

8 But I'm still a million miles from you

9 You took the silver

10 You took the gold

11 You left me standin' out in the cold

12 People ask about you

13 I didn't tell them everything I knew

14 Well, I try to get closer,

15 But I'm still a million miles from you

16 I'm driftin' in and out

17 Of dreamless sleep

18 Somewhow my memory's in a ditch

19 A ditch so deep

20 I did some many things

21 I never did intend to do

22 And I try to get closer,

23 But I'm still a million miles from you

24 Well, I don't dare close my eyes

25 And I don't dare wink

26 Maybe in the next life,

27 I'll be able to hear myself think

28 I feel like talkin' to somebody

29 I just don't know who

30 Well I try to get closer,

31 But I'm still a million miles from you

32 Rock me pretty baby

33 Rock me all at once

34 Rock me for a little while

35 And rock me for a couple of months

36 You know, honey, I'll rock you, too

37 Well I try to get closer,

38 But I'm still a million miles from you

39 Well, there's voices in the night

40 Tryin' to be heard

41 I'm sittin' here listenin' to every

42 Mind pollutin' word

43 And I know, I know plenty of people

44 That'd put me up for a day or two

45 Yes, I try to get closer,

46 But I'm still a million miles

47 Yes, I try to get closer,

48 But I'm still a million miles from you
