Comin’ Back to Me Lyrics by Richie Havens

Cuts to the Chase

0

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same as if it never had gone
Through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you
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
I saw you comin' back to me

If you can stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know it always has been
Always has been

Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to the wishes, wished on a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you
I saw you
I saw you comin' back to me

I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me
