The first version that was decidedly more bitter, more final, more decided about where this relationship was headed. 

This track is how it started. Here's how it's going: https://soundcloud.com/stefanlanfer/wont-you-come-by

It used to be a cusp-of-a-breakup song. The door is still open, but not much or for long. "I love you, but...won't you come by?" to say, we're done and this is why.

With some variety injected into the chorus - "You and I, how we could fly!" it took a turn for the more generous, more hopeful, more full of possibility and invitation. 

And that felt right.

All thanks to the honest feedback from my SongTown Edge Group and my better half (and listening to it).

Won't you come by? (v1)
