Maybe I'm a loner
Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a fool
But tried to understand
I've been a dreamer
And I've been around
And I've spent my time
In many lonesome towns
I used to know a woman
I used to know a child
Sometimes she was so gentle
Sometimes she'd be so wild
I gave her all my lovin
And I gave her all my youth
So certain of the future
So sure we found the truth
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say
San Francisco Bay
All the flowers
that we gave away
Didn't know our sky
was turing gray
We were so young
in San Francisco Bay
So you see my darling
Just why I've been so strange
I've had so many heartaches
It's hard for me to change
So when you talk of lovin
And going away with me
I still can't help remembering
The way things used to be
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say
San Francisco Bay
All the flowers
that we gave away
Didn't know our sky
was turing gray
We were so young
in San Francisco Bay
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say
