Song facts
From Wide Prairie liner notes:
A wistful ballad that Linda played often at home. Her gentle voice really captures a special kind of innocence that those of us who knew her loved deeply. The recording is in Ian Maidman’s studio and there is no multi-tracking to the song – this mix being all that exists.

Lyrics
Endless days and lonely nights, I cry out baby
When will you come back to me?
Gone away you wouldn't say the hurt I caused you,
When will you come back to me?
I've been waiting for you to call
But you just won't get back to me
Endless days and lonely nights
Are all that you give to me
Please come back, I beg you dear
Oh, come back, baby, when will you come back to me?
Gone away you wouldn't say the hurt I cause you,
When will you come back to me?
I don't believe things that I hear
They say you've changed
I don't believe them
I've been waiting for you to call
But you just won't get back to me
Endless days and lonely nights
Are all that you give to me
Endless days and lonely nights, I cry out baby
When will you come back to me?
Gone away I wouldn't say the pain you caused me
When will you come back to me?
I've been waiting for you to call
But you just won't get back to me
Endless days and lonely nights
Are all that you give to me
I don't believe things that I hear
They say you've changed
I don't believe them
