Lady with your dog, living in a doorway on Telegraph Road What have you seen? What happened to you? What led you this way?
You find yourself in Berkley, the Golden Gate Bridge extends before your feet Well, it´s a complicated place, these hills, those millions that walk on through, but nowhere for you
And I guess that San Francisco´s a lonely city And you lost your light somewhere Maybe on Broadway Maybe some other street And I guess that San Francisco´s a lonely city And you lost your light somewhere Maybe on Broadway Maybe some other street
And maybe it´s not this city that brought you to this day
Could have been Chicago, perhaps L.A. What sights? What loves? What pains? I wonder, lady, what´s your hi-history? Could have been some roses along the way Or strange mysteries that led you to this doorway Oh-ho, oh, with only dogs for company
And I guess that San Francisco´s a lonely city And you lost your light somewhere Maybe on Broadway Maybe some other street And I guess that San Francisco´s a lonely city And you lost your light somewhere Maybe on Broadway Maybe some other street
So decades flew right on by Fast-forward, now I´m singing my father´s words about you Luck brought me through your town, it´s built on big ideas and power But the streets are still lined with those who call ´em home and maybe always will I wonder to your name, your face, your fate forever in my mind Sat with your dogs up there on Telegraph Road
