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.)
