Music from Tour of Duty

[Alan B]

Does anybody know the name of a song featured in part in the Vietnam series Tour of Duty. It was played when the 'LT' Byron was mourning the loss of his girlfriend who was killed in a bomb attack on a cafe. The only words to the song I know are as follows, "the summer never healed it held its breath too long. the winter looked the same like it had never gone. and through an open window were no curtain hung. i saw you (pause) i saw you, coming back to me. the tune was slow with alot of instrumental.

The song is called Comin' back to me by Jefferson airplane It is from the album Surrealistic Pillow (1967) and also appears on the sound track for the film 'Girl Interrupted' Full lyrics below The summer had inhaled And held its breath too long. The winter looked the same, As if it had never gone, And through an open window, Where no curtain hung, I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. One begins to read between The pages of a look. The sound of sleepy music, And suddenly, you're hooked. I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. You came to stay and live my way, Scatter my love like leaves in the wind. You always say that 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, Coming back to me. Strolling the hill, 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, Coming 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, Coming back to me. ow
