Yeah, this seems like a song about Roy Orbison.


you've gone away
i'll never be the same
maybe time will heal the wound or
time could tear apart
the love within our hearts
so far we've strayed

i know it's done but
i still believe you're
the only one fine day
that love will bring you back
into my arms

come back baby
don't you stay
away and
leave me only
sad and lonely
beggin' you to say
come what may
you'll come back
stay forever
leave me never
baby please

go deep inside, you'll find
the ties that bind up all
our dreams and hopes together
will you take them one by one
and break them
you're forgetting the one
that made them, please
don't forsake them this way

come back baby
don't you stay
away and
leave me only
sad and lonely
beggin' you to say
come what may
you'll come back
stay forever
leave me never
baby please

if you don't come back, baby
tell 'em all i'm crazy, but
don't you ever say you cared
baby i love you and

if you're thinking of me
come on over here and love me girl,
i'm giving you the right
to all of me

come back baby
don't you stay
away and
leave me only
sad and lonely
beggin' you to say
come what may
you'll come back
stay forever
leave me never
baby please

The way the Doc was singing it reminded me a bit of of Roy, so I guess that's why I was thinking that? I don't know...didn't seem far-fetched to me at the time I was typing it, which was at 1 am or so.

Maybe Mike has a man-crush on Roy?
It could happen!

Pray Naked showed some Roy Orbison influence in "Happy Roy" and "Kites Without Strings" (sad Roy).

Either way it's a beautifully, gorgeous song melodically, but the words are very sad. I remember playing it once a long time ago and one of my youngest daughters started crying and said the song was making her sad. I used to play it often because it was so pretty, but now I make sure to fast forward past it if she's with me.

Mike's making little children cry, he should be ashamed!
