I Left My Soul in San Francisco Lyrics

With the spirit of the East bay

In the punks at the Gilman

I'm On the corner of Durant and Telegraph with you

A cold PBR while I'm under the stars

On the Berkeley city streets with Oakland in view

I came to the ska show

Where you would be working

Right after the warped tour on that afternoon

Stoned and red eyed, volunteer for the night

It was cold on the streets but inside fire brewed

And I know I'm so far away

From what I can only describe as what felt like home

Thousands of miles to the other side of the globe

Emily, Emily

I left my soul in San Francisco

So wait for me, stay for me

I did not want to go home

There's a store on the corner that sells all of your favorites

We can't always have what we want is what was taught

There's a whistle in the wind and it's preaching out a sermon

I stop and listen, pay attention to my thoughts

I'll be alone back home even in good company

Because I now feel cold without that love beside me

And I left a part of myself so far away

I left My Heart in the East bay

And I know I'm so far away

From what I can only describe as what felt like home

Thousands of miles to the other side of the globe

Emily, Emily

I left my soul in San Francisco

So wait for me, stay for me

I did not want to go home

Tears in the sky

The happiest sorrow that I find

Time and space collide

A voice on the phone says goodbye

I found myself and lost my soul

I fell in love and went back home
