"San Francisco" lyrics - RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
"San Francisco"

I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald
Just to think of her it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang
And sang

San Francisco open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco here comes your wanderin' one
Sayin' "I'll wander no more"

Other places only make me love you best
Say that you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco here comes your wanderin' one
Never to roam again
Never to roam again

San Francisco
Right when I arrive I really come alive
And you will laugh to see me
Perpendicular hangin' on a cable car

San Francisco
Let me beat my feet up and down Market Street
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill
Just to watch it get dark from the top of the mark

There's Brooklyn Bridge
London Bridge
And the Bridge of San Luis Rey
But the only bridge
That's a real 'gone bridge
Is the bridge across the bay

San Francisco I'm comin' home again
Never to roam again by god
San Francisco I don't mean Frisco
San Francisco here I come!
