Written back in the 70's, when songs were "crafted". Think: England Dan & John Ford Coley, or Barry Manilow. Anyway, it was a song saying "If I can't have her, I want to die". Written about someone very dear to me, still...
Ok, pretty fluffy lyric-wise, but it still has a cool multi-guitar lead part. This was engineered and produced by Michael Allsup (guitarist from Three Dog Night), at his home studio.
Dale Lander: Drums / Background vocals
Keith Lander: Bass / Background vocals
John Freyer: Piano, Hammond B3, Mellotron, Arp string ensemble / Background vocals
Mike McNenly: Lead vocal / Acoustic and electric guitars, about 8 parts.
Lyrics
I Want You (Please Come Back To Me)
Words and music: Michael J. McNenly
[Verse 1]
Long ago and not so far away
You came to me on a sunny day
Made love to me
And set me free
But the clouds have turned from white to gray
[Verse 2]
I live my life all by myself
Your picture sits on a dusty shelf
It seems to me
Eternity
Since I left the lonely room in which I dwell
[Chorus]
Last fool in town so lay me down
And roll me out to sea
I don't want to stay when I feel this way
I want you...please come back to me
