Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Comin' Back To Me

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
