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.
