Maybe I'm a fool, but try to understand
And I've spent my time in
Sometimes she was so gentle,
sometimes she'd be so wild
and I gave her all my youth
So certain of the future,
We were looking for another day,
but we couldn't find the words to say
all the flowers that we gave away
Didn't know our sky was turning gray
that's why I've been so strange
I've had so many heartaches,
it's hard for me to change
So when you talk of loving,
I still can't help remembering
the way things used to be
where my love and I didn't run away
We were looking for another day,
but we couldn't find the words to say
all the flowers that we gave away
Didn't know our sky was turning gray,
we were so young in San Francisco Bay
where my lover and I didn't run away
We were looking for another day,
but we couldn't find the words to say
all the flowers that we gave away
