San Francisco

Up in San Francisco where the forest meets the bridge
I thought I saw you standing there 
and then you fell into the well
but that was many years ago
and I am so much older now
my brother is a soldier now
I can't see him anyhow on hilltops in the wind
and you swimming up tide or just tuning into radio stations

I left my love in San Francisco (that's okay, I was bored anyway)
I left my love in the room (that's okay, I was born in L.A.)
I left my love in San Francisco (that's okay I was bored anyway)
I left my love in a field (that's okay, I was born in L.A.)

and we were stating on this hill that Jesus came from Israel
Isaac 'bove a sacred cow
so not to wake a sparrow's splashing

but that was many years from now 
and I hope from here on out
I always seem to want to shout
your eyes are like a cup o' tea 
ascend into the sun with me

you swimming up stream or just tuning into the new sensations
I was broken you were broken

I left my love in San Francisco (that's okay, I was bored anyway)
I left my love in the room (that's okay, I was born in L.A.)
I left my love in San Francisco (that's okay, I was bored anyway)
I left my love in a field (that's okay, I was born in L.A.)
