I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay, The ocean liner's gone so far away. Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had, She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die. I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime. She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind. If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay. Sitting down looking from my back door, Wondering which way to go, The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more. Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue, And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you. Meanwhile, in another city, Just about to go insane, Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name. If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day, Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

I had a dream that I was walking Middle of nowhere on my own I didn't care where I was going I never knew a place called home Out in the desert, I was waiting I'd never wandered here before There in the silence I heard You say it Went from a whisper to a roar You said rise up You said rise up I didn't know I was sleeping I didn't know I was lost You put the skeleton key in And opened the door to my heart I'm widе awake I'm wide awake You ovеrwhelmed me like an ocean You took my hand just like a child There's not one thing I did to earn it But You gave me back my life You said rise up You said rise up I didn't know I was sleeping I didn't know I was lost You put the skeleton key in And opened the door to my heart I'm wide awake I'm wide awake Wake up all you sleepers Walk in freedom, feel it in your bones Wake up all you sleepers Walk in freedom, let Him lead us home Wake up all you sleepers Walk in freedom, feel it in your bones Wake up all you sleepers Walk in freedom, let Him lead us home Let Him lead us I didn't know I was sleeping (I was sleeping) I didn't know I was lost (I was so so lost) You put the skeleton key in (Oh-oh) And opened the door to my heart I'm wide awake (I'm wide, I'm wide, I'm wide awake) I'm wide awake (I'm wide, I'm wide, I'm wide awake) I'm wide awake
