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
