Distant Lover (Live 1974)

Lyrics

[Intro] Thank you, ladies and gentlemen You recognize may recognize this theme from my Trouble Man album It's one of my favorite themes so I'm gonna have Gene play some here, I thought it was very fitting We're going to do a thing now that I hope you enjoy Some people told me, "You know, when you're in love, and your lover leaves you, and you got nobody." The lonely hours come over you You sit and while they think, you say... [Verse 1] Distant lover, lover (Lover, lover, lover) Lover Woo-hoo, so many miles away, hoo, hoo, hoo Hoo, oh, how I long for you every night, every night And sometimes I yearn through the day Distant lover, woo-hoo (Lover, lover) Lover (Lover) You should think about me Say a prayer for me Please, oh please, baby, think about me sometimes Think about me here, hey, in misery Oh, say it, baby [Bridge] As I reminisce through our joyful summer together The promises we made, baby All the daily letters Then all of a sudden, everything seems to explode (Pow) Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road Woo [Verse 2] Distant lover (Lover, lover, lover) Ooh, ooh, sugar How can you treat my heart, baby, so mean and cruel? Didn't you know, sugar, that every moment that I spent with you I treasured it like it was a precious jewel Oh, baby Lord have mercy [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I treasured it, baby, and you wanna leave, woo Oh, baby, don't go (Wow) Please come back, baby [Outro] Woo-ooh (Lover, lover, lover) Something I wanna say When you left, you took all of me with you Now all I want Do you wanna hear me scream, please, please, oh please, baby Come back home Oh, baby, oh, oh baby Please, Lord, oh, ooh, come back home Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
