Comin' Back To Me

Jefferson Airplane · Flight Log 1966-1976 [2011]

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 look

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 you want to 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



Strolling the hills overlooking the shore

I realize I've been here before

The shadow in the mist could have been anyone

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
