The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone And through an open window where no curtain hung I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me One begins to read between the pages of a look The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked Through the rain upon the trees, that kisses on the run I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
You can't stay and live my way Scatter my love like leaves in the wind You always say you want to go away But I know what it always has been, it always has been
A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh Most of the time I just let it go by Now I wish it hadn't begun I saw you, yes I saw you, comin' back to me
Strolling the hills overlooking the shore I realize I've been here before The shadow in the mist could have been anyone I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
Small things like reasons are put in a jar Whatever happened to wishes wished on a star? Was it just something that I made up for fun? I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
