<br>I knew it wasn't going to be called Stay The Second Time Around. All those fruitless searches lol.
Glad it's finally been solved and we get to hear the full version finally. I hope the version that gets released on iTunes is better than the one that's on Youtube.
The song is probably not the great tune we were expecting it to end up being but it's still a good one. I'm happy it got solved before I kick the bucket.[:D]

Google "on the roof" and you get 327,000,000 results... finding the link to the mystery song without knowing the artist name was near impossible (obviously).
I posted on the youtube clip page:
"If Johan had posted the lyrics on his site we would have found the song long before (though the mystery was fun too), so if you are a musician, post your lyrics on your website please."
To which H8tec replied:
"What makes his site interesting is that almost every album on it has lyrics listed if you click on the song name, but not that one! Kinda funny if you think about it."
Frankly I think Stay (The Second Time Around) is a better name for the song, it's the main part of the chorus, though the song is about being on the roof.
Also, listening to the song and comparing the lyrics (finally discovered...) this line:
"People running down the row" I think is actually "People running down below" because he is looking down on them from the roof.
Another lyric correction - 2nd verse:
"Woman you're on your own" I think is actually "Woman I done you wrong"

<br>Full Lyrics
Up on the roof I go
Sit and drink my wine
People running down the row
I wanna feel the cool winds blow
Woman you're on your own
I knew this had to come
Now your walking out my door
Calling a cab on the way you go

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
