Comin' Back To Me Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

( 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
