There is something about this song that is just so sweet to me. This isn't the first version of this song that I have heard (Céline Dion, Cyndi Lauper), but this is my favorite.
Also, there is a bit of a joke about about Roy Orbison that endears me to this more (listen to 'The F Plus' you jerks! It's an early episode and you will damn well love it!)
To me, it speaks of longing. Of travelling and going out of your way as a indication of your love for someone.
It is a song of forbidden love or love not previously expressed, perhaps out of fear.
*I may be projecting a narrative on to this song, like I do to strangers on the train.
Give it a listen yourself! :)
