is it about mayte-lyrics of here on earth?

Imagine a young woman runnin' 4 her very life
Tr-tr-tr-tryin' 2 get away from the one who loves her
This young woman
Huh, your wife

Into an alley - cold and rainy
October, just before dawn
Leaping atop a mountain of bricks
Her clothes, now covered with sick
The danger, hardly gone
She turns and curses the day she met U
And that she wishes she was never born

Say it's just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
(It's just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, just a dream)
U open up your eyes and come 2 realize
U simply imagined this, simply imagined this
(Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, just a dream)
So U lean over and give her a kiss

Here on earth, here on earth
With U it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
I don't feel so sad

Stayin' right here, I'm stayin' right here
Here on earth

I think its about Mani, or whatever her name is.. Cause it sounds like everything was fine when he awakened, and to be honest, Im not sure things were okay in reality with mayte and prince.

I always thought that it was about Mayte and the loss of their child. The words sort of speak for themselves.This is one of Prince's saddest songs.
