It looks to me like this song was written about Gemma Hayes. It is very similar to Hazy, which he co-wrote with her, and when he sang it in Amsterdam in 2003 (a week after she had left the tour), he later said that he sang it there because he couldn't stop thinking about her. In that song he says:
"Could you tell me why you're leaving
Cause I don't know why it has to be so."
and in this one he keeps crying out "Come back to me."
Also, he met Gemma in Dublin, and was born in Ireland. "When I was a riser, to Dublin I'd roam. She was a bare-backed rider, some miles from home." He also mentions Steven's Greens which is a place in Ireland. So it seems that the girl in this song is related to Ireland somehow, and so it wouldn't surprise me if the song is about her. I can also mention that Adam once said that this song and Accidentally in Love was about the same girl. So, it's also possible that that song is about Gemma too. I could be wrong about all of this, but it all seems to fit. Great song anyway!
