When it comes to you is for Lourdes pretty clear...

I don't think so because in 1987 the twins were born and the song maybe written at last 1989/1990
So those lyrics 2 years after the twins were born?
Maybe not.
If the Song was on Golden Heart I could think of... hmmmm maybe yes
The OES Tour may be the reason


He premiered the song with the NHB in 90. When releasing OES he was already divorcing Lourdes.

I guess a divorce comes after years of bad experiences in a marriage, so makes sense to me.

This will be one of his secrets I bet but: We can ask Mark this after his 2024 RAH Shows in London while signing our Tourbooks  ;D

I just don't think Mark would do that kind of thing; write, record and perform a song which specifically targets the mother of his children.

Do I remember correctly? Cigarette on the neck of the guitar 😊
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Remember, MK didn't actually deliver microwave ovens or fight in a war. It's entirely possible When It Comes To You is complete fiction, regardless of when it was written or released.

Imagine that  :think

Here's a thought: Mark being the reporter and all, what if When It Comes To You actually recounts Lourdes' words to Mark?

Doesn't sounds like a character song as he uses to say

To you. How do you distinguish? Is How Long a character?
