Rufus Wainwright - San Francisco lyrics

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 wandering one

Saying, "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 wandering 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, hanging 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 coming home again

Never to roam again, by god

San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco

San Francisco, here I come!
