Caedmons Call - Ballad Of San Francisco lyrics

rate me

So I'm walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco

But, I don't really know my way around

And I'd love to stay a day or two and get into some trouble

But tomorrow I'll be in another town

There's at least one coffee bar for every single couple

And there's at least a couple in this place

Strange the things you notice when the walls are closing in

And the walls are closing in on me today

So where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone

'Cause there's no way outta here

Well, here is where I live and so I guess that means

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year

I love anonymity and I love being noticed

Just the same as anybody else

Years ago I told you how I loved to be alone

These days I'd be perjuring myself

It's like you gave me up like I gave up drinking coffee

So I guess I would have done the same

Now I know I'm lost somewhere outside of San Francisco

But I'm still glad that I came
