The summer hot inhaled & 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 & suddenly you're hooked.

And through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run.

I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.

 

Dm               Gm           Dm                   Gm

You can't stay & live my way, Scatter my love like leaves on the wind.

Dm                 Gm             Dm                            Gm

You always say you won't go away, But I know what it always has been

Dm

It always has been...

 

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh.

Most of the time I just let it go by.

Now I wish that it hadn't begun.

I saw you... I saw you... Comin' back to me.

 

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore.

I realize that 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.

What ever 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.
