Lombard Street

Well I left my heart in that city by the bay
With a golden sun
Slipping away behind a golden bridge
Overlooking those carriages
And you left your heart not with that precious scene
Not with those cable cars
Climbing out of the sea
Out of the sea
No you left it down on Lombard with me
And I'm sorry you had to leave it with me
And under those apricot lanterns smirking in the wind
You fell like rain
Right off of my skin and no I
Wasn't the delicate delusion you were looking for
And sometimes you can miss what you never knew
A name, a place
A smile and a face
And are you still smitten by
What you never knew
'Cause down on Lombard
Somehow you missed the truth about me
Despite it winding down the street for everybody to see
And for how long
Can I be traced
Back to those hairpin turns
I was etched in this concrete some time ago
Well I left my heart in that city by the bay
With a golden sun
Slipping away behind that golden bridge
Overlooking those carriages
And I left your heart in the halls of Alcatraz
With our hopes and dreams
Buried on the banks in the sands
And I'm sorry I couldn't pass more timidly into your past
But down on Lombard I could see the crooked in me
And in your eyes I'm as crooked as crooked can be
And in your eyes I'm as crooked as crooked can be
