Distant Lover
Longing Across Miles: Distant Lover's Heartache
Lyrics
Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover)
Expressing affection for a lover who is physically distant
So many miles away
Highlighting the significant physical distance between the lovers
Heaven knows that I long for you
Expressing a strong longing for the distant lover
Every night, every night
Emphasizing the consistency of yearning each night
I plan, sometimes I dance
Contemplating and making plans during the day, possibly to bridge the gap
Through the day
Continuing daily activities while thinking of the distant lover
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
Reiterating the longing for the distant lover
You should think about me
Requesting the lover to consider and remember the speaker
And say a prayer for me
Pleading for prayers and thoughts from the lover
Please, please baby
Urging the lover to think about the speaker
Think about me sometimes
Requesting the lover to occasionally remember the speaker's existence
Think about me here
Asking the lover to consider the speaker's suffering and distress
Here in misery
Expressing the intense emotional pain and unhappiness
Misery
Reiterating the feeling of misery
As I reminisce, oh baby, through our joyful summer together
Reflecting on past joyful times with the lover
The promises we made
Recalling promises made during the joyful times
All the daily letters
Remembering exchanging letters on a daily basis
Then, all of the sudden
Describing a sudden and unexpected change in the relationship
Everything seemed to explode
Expressing the disruption and chaos that occurred abruptly
Now, I gaze out my window
Looking out the window, feeling lonely and melancholic
Sugar, down a lonesome road
Feeling sorrowful and isolated on a desolate path
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
Repeating the longing for the distant lover
Sugar, how can you treat my heart
Questioning the treatment of the speaker's heart by the lover
So mean and cruel
Expressing the perceived cruelty and unkindness in the lover's actions
Sugar, sugar
Reiterating the anguish caused by the lover's behavior
Treat every moment that I spent with you
Treasuring the moments spent with the lover as invaluable
I treasure every like it was a precious jewel
Valuing and cherishing every shared moment as precious
Please, Lord have mercy
Pleading for mercy and intervention from a higher power
Please, come back, baby
Begging for the lover's return
Somethin' I wanna say
Expressing an urgent need to communicate something important
When you left
Highlighting the emotional impact of the lover's departure
You took all of me with you
Feeling incomplete and empty after the lover's departure
Do you wanna hear me scream
Expressing intense emotions and a desire for the lover's return
Come back and hold me, girl
Yearning for the lover's embrace and comfort
