Madonna recently dedicated the song Miles Away to Guy Ritchie at a concert. She didn't say it quite that way exactly. At her concert last night in Boston she dedicated Miles Away to the "emotionally retarded" - which seemed fairly obvious considering her recent marital troubles.

I just woke up from a fuzzy dream You never would believe those things that I had seen I looked in the mirror and I saw your face You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams they fade away I'll never be the same If you could see me the way you see yourself I can't pretend to be someone else
You always love me more, miles away I hear it in your voice, we're miles away You're not afraid to tell me, miles away I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
