The summer had inhaled
And held its breath too long.
The winter looked the same,
As if it had never gone,
And through an open window,
Where no curtain hung,
I saw you.
I saw you,
Coming 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 came to stay and live my way,
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind.
You always say 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.
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.
Come back to me.
