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 turning 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 turning 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
