Maybe I'm a loner,
maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a fool, but try to understand
I've been a dreamer,
and I've been around
And I've spent my time in
any lonesome town
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 mounted
We were looking for another day,
but we couldn't find the words to say
San Francisco Faith,
all the flowers that we gave away
Didn't know our sky was turning gray
We were so young in San
Francisco gray
So you see my darling,
that's why I've been so strange
I've had so many heartaches,
it's hard for me to change
So when you talk of loving,
don't go away with me
I still can't help remembering
the way things used to be
San Francisco Bay,
where my love and I didn't 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 turning gray,
we were so young in San Francisco Bay
San Francisco Bay,
where my lover and I didn't 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
