Distant Lover - Live At The Oakland Coliseum/1974

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you

And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here

Sittin' home and thinkin', you say

Distant lover, lover

Oh, so many miles away

Oh, heaven knows that I long for you

Every night, every night and sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover, oh lover,

You should think about me, say a prayer for me

Please, please, baby

Think about me sometime, think about me yeah

Here in misery, misery

As I reminisce

Oh, baby, through our joyful summer together

The promises we made of the daily letter

Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode

Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down the lonesome road

Distant lover, oh, sugar

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel

Don'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

Oh baby, don't go

Please come back, baby

Something I wanna say

When you left you took all of me with you

Now, Lord

I wonder do you wanna hear me scream and plead

Please, please, please, come back home girl

Please, baby, come back home

Oh baby, don't go

Please come back, baby

Oh, something I wanna say

When you left to go away

No other do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream

Please, please, oh please, baby

Come back home, girl

Oh baby, come back

Oh, oh
