Lyrics
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
Well, I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me
But 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
But now I wish it hadn't begun
Well, I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me
Strolling the hills, overlooking the shore
But 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
