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 comin' back to me
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, the 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, yes, I saw you comin' back to me
