Lyrics
By the Bay
Cami, 2004
V1) On the ground leaves have fallen
And the sky?s looking gray
In my mind I am calling you
In the city by the bay
On the road going faster
I can see far away
I remember times of laughter
In the city by the bay
Chorus:
Can it be so long ago
When I first saw your face
I don?t know what to say or do
Anymore, in this place
V2) I walk through fog and cold
But I see sunny days
And the time when we were so bold
In the city by the bay
Chorus:
I look for you but you are not
Anywhere I go
Maybe it?s that you forgot
Your way home to the shore
V3) Sometimes when I think of you
I get lost again
In your arms and your safe embrace
In the city by the bay
(repeat)
