Subject: Not much to go on

Written By: Red Ant on 12/23/10 at 10:22 am

Was thinking of a song yesterday, I had the name but it went as quickly as it came. I *think* some of the lyrics/title might me "come for me" and "second". Yeah, not much to go on, it is NOT "Second Chance" by either Shinedown or 38 special, nor "Second Wind" by Bill Joel. I am almost positive the song is from the 80s and is sung by a male, maybe a male group, and would be something inspirational/moving, along the lines of "In the Living Years" by Mike + the Mechanics. My lyrics very well may be wrong.... if you guys and gals can think of any songs in the 80s that fit the overall view of the song, please throw out some ideas, it is driving me nuts not knowing what this song is. Thanks.

A while back I collected the song lyrics for all the songs in my "loved tracks" folder which is pretty heavy on the pop of the 80s. I searched those for "come for me" and came up with:
Diana Ross, "I'm Coming Out" 
Monster Magnet, "Space Lord"
Patti Smith, "Pissing in a River"

but none has "second" in it and two are strictly women

"Come TO me" shows up in 27 songs...
the only one with second is this one, which also happens to be the first song I thought of:  Patti Austin & James Ingram,"Baby, Come To Me"


Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share


Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to livin' without you

I found it!! I was totally wrong on the lyrics, but I got the band/decade right: it is Mike + The Mechanics "Silent Running". Thanks for all the look-ups ChuckyG.
