Rainy Day in San Francisco

Glad to see you in the morning
Glad to see you in the night
Not the one when it’s dark and storming
But its fine when rain is light

Flower Power had been forgotten
Flower children were grown old
But gentle people in jeans made of blue cotton
still have something to hold

Rainy day in San Francisco
I know it’s time to say good-bye
Rainy day in San Francisco
Someone new comes for saying hi

Walking up and down Columbus
Hanging out around North Beach
Old Vesuvio Caf; where we once found us
reveals that dream isn’t out of reach

Hot Latino dance in Tonga
that’s where perfect night should start
As you go out you meet Tony around the corner
He tells you where he left his heart

Rainy day in San Francisco
Though it was sunny the other day
Rainy day in San Francisco
Washes out all that passed away

It used to be a golden life here
Homeless people can give you proof
Please don’t cry and just make love to me, dear
While the rain is drumming on the roof

Boats unfold sails on the blue bay
Happy people in the trams
when misty night is gone we see another day
it brings here new wander tramps

Rainy day in San Francisco
I know it’s time to say good-bye
Rainy day in San Francisco
Someone new is saying hi
