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
hilltop in the wind.
Chorus
And you, swimming uptide, or just
tuning in 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 standing on this hill.
Jesus came from Israel.
Eyes above a sacred cow
So not to wake a sparrow 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 of tea
Ascending to the sun with me.
Chorus
You, swimming upstream, or just
tuning into new sensations
Cm
I was bro- ken. You were bro- ken.
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.
