Lyrics

San Francisco Bay

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Maybe I'm a loner,

Maybe I'm a man,

Maybe I'm a fool,

But tried to understand.

I've been a dreamer,

And I've been around,

And I've spent my time

In many lonesome towns.

I used to know a woman,

I used to know a child,

Sometimes she was so gentle,

Sometimes she'd be so wild.

I gave her all my lovin,

And I gave her all my youth,

So certain of the future,

So sure we found the truth.

San Francisco Bay,

Where my love and I did run away,

We were looking for another day,

But we couldn't find the words to say...

San Francisco Bay,

All the flowers that we gave away,

Didn't know our sky was turing gray,

We were so young in San Francisco Bay.

So you see my darling,

Just why I've been so strange,

I've had so many heartaches,

It's hard for me to change.

So when you talk of lovin,

And going away with me,

I still can't help remembering

The way things used to be...

San Francisco Bay,

Where my love and I did run away,

We were looking for another day,

But we couldn't find the words to say

San Francisco Bay,

All the flowers that we gave away,

Didn't know our sky was turing gray,

We were so young in San Francisco Bay.

San Francisco Bay,

Where my love and I did run away,

We were looking for another day,

But we couldn't find the words to say

San Francisco Bay,

All the flowers that we gave away,

Didn't know our sky was turing gray,

We were so young in San Francisco Bay.
