You took a part of me That I really miss I keep askin´ myself "How long can it go on like this?" You told yourself a lie
That´s all right, I told myself one, too
Well, 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 standin´ out in the cold People ask 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 Somewhow my memory´s in a ditch A ditch so deep I did some many things
I never did intend to do
And 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 I feel like talkin´ to somebody I just don´t know who
Well I try to get closer But I´m still a million miles from you
Rock me pretty baby Rock me all at once Rock me for a little while
And rock me for a couple of months You know, honey, I´ll rock you, too Well I try 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 listenin´ to every Mind pollutin´ word And I know, I know plenty of people That´d put me up for a day or two
Yes, I try to get closer But I´m still a million miles Yes, I try to get closer But I´m still a million miles from you
