Marvin Gaye — Distant Lover Live in Montreux 1980

[Intro] Oh, it sounds so tender, yes it do Lord have mercy Well, well, well, well Play it for me again, y'all Play the introduction again, I ain't ready Play it again, the introduction Oh, when you lose the one you love It's a cold hard feeling, baby Lord have mercy Well, I said a man ain't supposed to cry But I lost my baby And the tears start streaming from my eyes Used to come home from work, go to my lonely room and say "Baby, why did you leave me?" Then sometimes I get overcome with emotion And fall in pieces, "Why?" OW [Verse 1] Distant lover, lover (Lover, lover, lover) Oh baby, so many miles away Woo, Heaven knows that,that I long for you, baby Every night (Every night) Oh, sometimes I yearn through the day Distant lover, woo (Lover, lover, lover) You should think about me, Lord have mercy Somebody say a prayer for me Please, ah please, think about me sometimes, oh Think about me here, here in misery, misery Save me, baby [Bridge] As I reminisce, baby Through our joyful summer together All the promises we made All the daily letters Then all of a sudden Everything seemed to explode Now, I gaze out my window Darling, down a lonely road, ooh [Verse 2] Distant lover (Lover, lover, lover) How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel all the time? Every single moment, Lord have mercy, that I spent with you I treasure it like it was a precious jewel Save me, baby, Lord, help me, Lord [Outro] Oh, how could you leave me? Please don't go, oh I said, ah baby, please come back, baby Somethin' I wanna say When you left you took all of me with you Now I pray, Father Does she wanna hear me plead, and scream, and get on my knees? I don't know, please, oh please, come back Oh, oh, oh baby, please, oh, ooh, come back home Oh, yeah Thank you
