Distant Lover by Marvin Gaye

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, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo

Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!

Oh baby, don't go
Please come back, baby
Ooo, something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther 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

Title: A change is gonna come

I was born by the river 
In a little tent
Oh
And just like the river I been a running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh
Yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh
Yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, "Don't hang around"
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh
Yes it will

Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother help me please" 
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
Oh

There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on 
It's been a long
A long time coming but I know a change gon' come
Oh 
Yes it will
