San Francisco

I’ve been waiting in San Francisco

To know you still care

Don’t let that white bird fly

Then I know you won’t be there

I’ll be sitting by my phone

Waiting for you to call

But I feel those winds have stopped now

Round our words we built a wall

I hope one day that wind will blow

Warm on my face

And you ride down upon it

With steel wings and open lace

I just hope one day you will land

Back on that doldrums shore in love I stand

We can break down that yellow stonewall

And let our words sail on the wind again

I’ve been waiting in San Francisco

To know you still care

Don’t let that white bird fly

Then I know you won’t be there

I won’t ask for your forgiveness

As it floats in the wind

I’ll let the light bring it

As it shines down on me

But before I feel that sunlight

Warm upon my face

I’ll be cold inside

And my words will lose pride

As the Sun sets its place

My words will be frozen

As they float across the sea

Only your warmth will melt them

For you to hear me

I’ve been waiting in San Francisco

To know you still care

Don’t let that white bird fly

Then I know you won’t be there

I wish that I could hold you

And you wouldn’t freeze inside

My touch is too cold now

In dark regret I still hide
