Distant Lover (Live At Oakland Coliseum, CA / 1974)

You may recognize this theme

From my Trouble Man album

It's one of my favorite themes so

I'm happy to, I thought it was very pretty

We're going to

Do a thing now that we hope you enjoy

Some people told me

You know when you're in love

And your lover leaves you and you've got nobody

The lonely hours come over you

You sit and wonder and think, you say ooh

Distant lover

Lover

Ooh-ooh-ooh

So many miles away

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ha-oh, how I long for you every night,

Every night

And sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover

Ooh-ooh, lover

You should think about me

Say a prayer for me

Please, oh please baby

Think about me sometimes

Think about me here

Here in misery

Oh, say it, baby

As I reminisce

Through our joyful summer together

The promises we made, baby

All the daily letters

Then, all of a sudden

Everything seemed to explode

Now, I gaze out my window

Sugar, down a lonesome road, ooh

Distant lover

Ooh

Sugar, how can you treat my heart

So mean and cruel?

Didn't you know, sugar

That every moment that I spent with you

I treasure it like it was a precious jewel

Oh baby, Lord have mercy

I treasured it, baby

And you want to leave, ooh

Oh baby, don't go

Please, come back, baby

Ooh-ooh

Somethin' I wanna say

When you left

You took all of me with you

Now Lord, I want

Do you wanna hear me, plead, scream?

Please, please, oh please baby?

Come back home, girl

Oh baby oh

Oh-oh baby, please darlin'

Oh ooh come back home
