from SAN FRANCISCO BLUES
13
This pretty white city
On the other side of the country
Will no longer be
Available to me
I saw heaven move
Said ‘This is the end’
Because I was tired
of all that portend
And any time you need
me
Call
I’ll be at the other
end
Waiting
at the final wall

In the Cameo Hotel
