Across the bay the fog is lifting

And I am 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

Where city lights and Ferlinghetti stay

North Beach alleyways and cafés

Kerouac and Ginsberg

Gregory Corso and Neal Cassady all held sway



Vince Guaraldi would play 'Cast Your Fate To The Wind' in the distance

Lenny Bruce got busted at 'The Hungry Eye'

The 'No-Name Bar' down in Sausalito

Across the street where Chet Baker used to play



My heart was beating on the hillside

Near Belvedere and Tiburon

I need to take you back, back down to 'Frisco

Now we need each other, need each other to lean on



Vince Guaraldi would play 'Cast Your Fate To The Wind'

And we'd listen

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 at the Seal Rock Hotel

Foghorns blowing all night long 'til dawn

Gerry Street culchies left their homeland a long while ago

Some have stayed, but others not for so long



My heart was beating on the hillside

Near Belvedere and 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 to lean on

Lean on me

Lean on

Now we need each other more than ever to lean on



Back to city lghts, North Beach and Broadway

We need each other

We need each other to lean on



Across the bay in Tiburon

Across the bay in Tiburon
