Well I got to Haight I was a little late
It was an empty dream, I found
Gone away, child, to another day
When they passed the flowers around
So I turned my collar away from the chill
Of the San Francisco night
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
Everything?s going to be all right
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Or a breakdown in L.A.
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
And people look the other way
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
It?s sad, but God, it?s true
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
On Telegraph Avenue
verse 2
Well the eagle don?t fly the Alabama sky
They chained him to the ground
Colorado, Lord, don?t want me now
It?s all right I?ve been found
So Mama stop your crying, don?t worry about me
It?s gonna work out fine some day
If you gave me a million dollar bill
You couldn?t turn my heart away.
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Or a breakdown in L.A.
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
And people look the other way
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
It?s sad, but God, it?s true
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
On Telegraph Avenue
Oh I love you
I do love you
Oh my friend I love you
Oh, ohhh
