Intro: play parts A, B, and C two times, second time with recorder solo
Part A: 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
Part B: I saw you I saw you Comin'... Part C: ...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
Part D: (Bridge) You can't 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
А 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
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
play parts A, B, and C (with recorder solo) and fade out
(from Surrealistic Pillow, 1967) (sent by Harlan at [email protected]) NOTE: this is basically plagarized from the previous version except that I discovered the song is in an alternate tuning. I am very unsure about the bridge. I hope some can improve upon it!
