 Intro: 
 play parts A, B, and C 2X, second time with recorder solo 
  
 Part A: 
    F                                D# 
 The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long 
    F                                D# 
 The winter looked the same as if it never had gone 
    C#                            D# 
 And through an open window where no curtain hung 
  
 Part B: 
    D#  F  F# 
            I saw you 
    D#  F  F# 
            I saw you 
    D#  F  F# 
                      Comin'... 
  
 Part C: 
    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: 
 C# 
 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 
  
  
 Peace,

 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!
