Down By The Beautiful Bay Lyrics

Step after step the façade is the same

Year after year the same shades remain

New stucco here and new condo there

The hidden parts appear to be bare



Step by step with the shapes of the past

I feel every corner and whiff and a path

Down asphalt alleys and through gingerbread streets

Roam with invisible people who stay out of reach



The sharp slap of memory stops my not-so-wander

The address is empty though it's pulsing with life

On such a wonderful day the calendar disappears
