I've been waiting in San Francisco To know you still care Don't let that white bird fly Then I know you won't be there I'll be sitting by my phone Waiting for you to call But I feel those winds have stopped now Round our words we built a wall I hope one day that wind will blow Warm on my face And you ride down upon it With steel wings and open lace I just hope one day you will land Back on that doldrums shore in love I stand We can break down that yellow stonewall And let our words sail on the wind again I've been waiting in San Francisco To know you still care Don't let that white bird fly Then I know you won't be there I won't ask for your forgiveness As it floats in the wind I'll let the light bring it As it shines down on me But before I feel that sunlight Warm upon my face I'll be cold inside And my words will lose pride As the sun sets its place My words will be frozen As they float across the sea Only your warmth will melt them For you to hear me I've been waiting in San Francisco To know you still care Don't let that white bird fly Then I know you won't be there I wish that I could hold you And you wouldn't freeze inside My touch is too cold now In dark regret I still hide
