Eileen Torrez - Hey There, San Francisco lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey there, San Francisco Will you meet me where I am? I come to you with open arms Standing tall as I can stand My dreams are just as golden As the gates you've opened wide To the countless seeking shelter by your side [Chorus 1] All I need is a sunny state To lift my tired soul I swear I'll shoulder all my old mistakes Admit what I can't know And hope you'll one day lead me home [Verse 2] Hold me, San Francisco In the comfort of your bay I've had my fill of wandering And I need a place to stay The plated paths they laid before me Left me wanting something more So I held out for the promise of your shore [Bridge] Oh, you've got emeralds in your hillsides Oh, you've got diamonds in your sea Oh, I've seen the amber in your sunset skies And I wonder could you find room In your skyline for me [Chorus 2] All I need is a tender heart To catch me as I go This time I vow to make a better start Surrender all control And maybe one day call you home
