House on Telegraph Hill ( Lyrics )
It coulda been another typical day
With the early mornin' fog rollin' in to the city by the bay
I was gettin' on a southbound train
And as we pulled out--I could swear I heard Amelia call my name
I was dreamin' of her there
On the bed that we share
And her tender kiss that said goodbye
When the ground began to rumble
We could hear the city crumble
And in it everybody in it could die
(CHORUS)
Oh my Amelia I'm comin' to you
If I can make it then you know I will
The streets are broken, the sky is fallin'
And the city is burnin' still
Oh please forgive me, I should have been by your side
And I'm never gonna stop until
I see you smilin', I see you wavin'
From the house of Telegraph Hill
It woulda been an ordinary night
But 700 folks they would never get to see the morning light
As I struggled to the edge of town
Not a single building stood, they had all been levelled to the
ground
There was nothin' let to see
Where our house used to be
And my heart cried out in pain
All the love I ever gave her
Couldn't pick her up and save her
And I only have myself to blame
(REPEAT CHORUS)
What's that I see
Could that be you girl?
