Telegraph Road 1977 & 2024

Lady with your dogs
Living in a doorway on Telegraph Road
What have you seen
What happened to you
What led you this way
You find yourself in Berkeley
The Golden Gate Bridge extends before your feet
Well it's a complicated place
These hills those millions who walk on through
But nowhere for you
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your life somewhere
Maybe on Broadway maybe some other street
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your life 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 history
Could have been some roses along the way or strange mysteries
That led you to this doorway
Oh with only your dogs for company
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your life somewhere
Maybe on Broadway maybe some other street
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your life somewhere
Maybe on Broadway maybe some other street
So decades flew right on by
Fast forward now I am
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 too your name your face your fate
Forever in my mind sat with your dog's up there on Telegraph Road
