Rickie Lee Jones - Comin' Back To Me 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

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
