San Francisco was the color gray Laughter down the long hallway Melted wax on wooden floors No one knocked upon my door Not mine Not mine The girl in gray Not mine Not mine The girl in gray I never was a city girl Cigarettes and mother's pearls The veil of night The stranger's gaze On the pretty face of Jamie or Kate Not mine Not mine The girl in gray Not mine Not mine The girl in gray Paper walls and someone else Going at it while I stared at Silhouettes of passing cars Haunted by some toothless dream San Francisco was the color gray I left alone without a name I left behind The girl in gray I left behind The girl in gray The girl in gray
