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 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
