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 
 
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 
 
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)

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!
