Million Miles [2008-10-27: Calgary, Canada] Songtext
von 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 'til it′s just what it's all coming to
Well, I′m trying 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 trying 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, "That′s alright mama, you, you do what you gotta do"
Well, I'm trying 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 box
And I'll rock you too
I'm trying 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 put me up for a day or two
Yes, I′m trying to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you
