Across the Bay the fog has lifted Down here... In Tiburon That's what she said When she was sitting looking Out at the Golden Gate ... In the morning dawn Across the Bay... In San Francisco "The City Lights" in Ferlinghetti's day North Beach, alleyways and cafes Kerouac and Ginsberg ...Gregory Corso and Neal Ca**ady... all held sway As Geraldi would play Cast your feet to the wind and the distance Lenny Bruce got busted at "The Hungry I" "No Name Bar" down in Sausalito Across the street where Chet Baker used to play My heart was beating on the hillside ____________ In Tiburon I need to take me back ... back down to Frisco Now we need each other... Need each other to lean on ---Interlude--- As Geraldi would play Cast your feet to/feet to the wind and we listened In the evening across the way
Chet Baker would play down at "The Trident" With his horn, he blew everybody away "The Cliff House" down in the Seal Rock Hotel Fog horns blowing all night long 'til dawn Geary Street ________________ Left their homeland a long while ago Some have stayed, but others not for so long My heart was beating on the hillside _____________ In Tiburon Take you back down to San Francisco Now we need each other more than ever to lean on Now we need each other more than ever more than ever to lean on Lean on me ... Lean on Now we need each other more... than ever... to lean on Back to City Lights...City Lights North Beach and Broadway We need each other...Need each other to lean on Back to City Lights and North Beach... North Beach and Broadway We need each other Need each other to lean on
