Background
Faithfull's former manager Tony Calder told Mojo magazine in September 2008 that the song was written in Los Angeles, where he was with Jimmy Page who had an affair with DeShannon: "One night I couldn't get into our hotel room because Jimmy and Jackie DeShannon were shagging. So I yelled, 'When you've finished could you write a song for Marianne?'"{{cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=12791 |title=Come and Stay with Me by Marianne Faithfull Songfacts |website=Songfacts.com |date= |accessdate=2016-09-28}} DeShannon came up with this song plus with Page an album track, "In My Time of Sorrow."
