My journey nears its end as the harbour lights appear
There's no place on earth I've held so dear
I'm older and I'm tired but I muster my resolve
And as I step ashore, the years dissolve
The house lights rise to San Francisco cries
The streets applaud our final curtain call
Like the steadiest of friends, you were never out of sight
We're rougher round the edge, the same inside
There's distance in these eyes, if I close them really tight
We're forty years ago for one more night
The house lights rise to San Francisco cries
The streets applaud our final curtain call
So I let nostalgia overwhelm me
That familiar burn in my soul
For there's nothing sacred but our memories
What we keep is ours to control
The house lights rise to San Francisco cries
The streets applaud our final curtain call
The house lights rise to San Francisco cries
The streets applaud our final curtain call"
