San Francisco

Gregory Alan Isakov
the mist fills,
quiet room.
san francisco
what the hell was all
the talkin' round,
where is it now, sunny california?
I wake with you, I feel your coat, sleep late afternoons
and I hitched along, but I turned wrong,
how you moved me along, with your shepherd songs,
every time you opened up to sing"¦
the still sun, never moves, across the sky"¦
funny thing, time.
she made you mine"¦
and she'll rob you blind.
lay down in your new town
walk the ground.
glass and houses fill the fields.
now the moon sees everything
in this sanitarium
can I get through, like the moon gets through,
across the sea
treacherous.
and now you've gone, after all we've known,
and after all that I've been told"¦
california's cold
lay down in your new town
walk the ground
how you made me weep on sansom street
and how you made the weather come.
