Stay (The Second Time Around) - Unknown New Wave 80’s song
Mystery solved 9/17/13 (11 years of searching)
Johan Lindell - On The Roof
A lot of people have been trying to identify the name of the band and locate a full length version of the song we call “Stay (The Second Time Around)“ for over 4 years.
The song was recorded off of a German radio station in 1984 or 1986 (if it’s 1984 it’s probably “Hessen 3“ and if it’s 1986 it’s probably “NDR 1“). Unfortunately, this is the whole clip of what was recorded of the song, and not the full version of the song, as it was recorded late into the song.
Please help us identify the mystery song.

Many thanks to the thread that led to the Swedish radio station PP3 picking up the story and a listener Stefan Petersson for finally solving the mystery.
lyrics are:
Talking to a blue sky
Thinking on a roof top
Listen to my heart go, “Don’t go, don’t go“
Listen to my mind go
Stay the second time around
Won’t you please stay the second time around
Darling, won’t you please stay the second time around
Oh, won’t you stay the second time around

Full Lyrics (corrected)
Up on the roof I go
Sit and drink my wine
People running down below
I wanna feel the cool winds blow
Killing time up here
Just me and the empty sky
Trying to sort things out
About what happened the other night
Woman I done you wrong
I knew this had to come
Now your walking out my door
Calling a cab on the way you go
Sitting on a rooftop
Talking to a blue sky
Drinking on a rooftop
Listen to my heart go, don’t go, don’t go
Listen to my mind go
Stay, the second time around
Won’t you please Stay, the second time around
Darling won’t you please Stay, the second time around
Ah please Stay, the second time around
Watching the girls go by
Like a string of pearls in the crowd
Hey you with the long black hair
I’ve got some wine to share
Sitting on a rooftop
Talking to a blue sky
Drinking on a rooftop
Listen to my heart go, don’t go, don’t go
Listen to my mind go
Stay, the second time around
Won’t you please Stay, the second time around
Darling won’t you please Stay, the second time around
Ah won’t you Stay, the second time around
