Rickie Lee Jones - Comin' back to me lyrics

( Jefferson Airplane )

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

One begins to read between the pages of a book

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 that you won't 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

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

But 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
