Red House Painters - Priest Alley Song lyrics

Going past Golden Gate Elementary every day Kids down colorful hill Recess and fire drill She likes the side without the heat Where the sun don't beat She likes the cooler side Of Washington Street Hummingbirds, pigeons and doves On the rooftops above Light shine down into the tides Over hillsides See where the bridge and mountain meet At the mouth of the sea And where the sailboats live a day And turn away With the purple evening Losing our loving hold In the skies' flourescent glow She takes her thoughts and cares Into the moonlit alley stairs Still in my hand I feel the sting And the sound of bells' ring And the memory of the face Never washes away The current evening
