Song Description

Inspired by a trip with my honey to guess where.

Lyrics

When I watch my memories flip past like slides
I see each image clearly through the glasses of time.
And though I might pause quick to dwell on what was
it's just to remember from where I came from.

Where worries once wandered hope's loosened the binds.
And the tears that filled buckets have turned into wine.
Dreams once hard to reach pave reality's streets
and I don't wish to be someone other than me.

These are the things you think about
when you're climbing Telegraph Hill.
These are the things you think about
when you're breathing in North Beach.
These are the things you think about
in San Francisco.

My heart I protected so selfishly
that my soul remained hidden so tragically
But you my true love as my heart's only key
are the guide through my being unchartered.

Through fog shrouded shoreline my eyes strained to see
that which to me now can be viewed easily.
I've thousands of questions to ask the great sea
but the journey's worth more than the answers I seek.

And these are the things you think about
when you're sleeping on Nob Hill.
These are the things you think about
when you're haggling in Chinatown.
These are the things you think about
in San Franciso.
This is what I thought about
in San Francisco.
