Lyrics
A Million Miles Away © Earl.C.Webb
We haven't made love for as long as I can remember
As we're lying here I'm wondering just what's really going on in your mind
There's an untouched cup of coffee still sitting at your side of the bed
With the letters and cards I wrote you that you've never read
You're just as beautiful as you ever was
But you keep your distance, and that just makes it hard, because
Your skin is soft and warm, but your heart is as cold as clay
Though you're lying right next to me, you're still a million miles away
Well it's looking like it's gonna be another long cold December
Was a time that we'd just muddle through and snuggle up till we got warm
But just lately when I reach out to touch you and ask if you're ok
You just roll your eyes, shrug your shoulders, and look away
You're just as beautiful as you ever was
But you keep your distance, and that just makes it hard, because
Your skin is soft and warm, but your heart is as cold as clay
Though you're lying right next to me, you're still a million miles away
Solo
Repeat second half of chorus.
