(Chorus)
Sitting in San Francisco by the Water
Carried away by the blues and greens
It's beautiful in San Francisco by the Water
Then why do I feel so removed
Watching the ducks, roaming amongst the boats
and the Golden Gate Bridge, beautiful like in a movie
It's a shame you're not here
With me to see it
You'd say you'd never leave
(Chorus)
I watch Doctor J, tear down the nets
and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, touches the sky
It's a shame you're not here
With me to see it
It's so beautiful in San Francisco by the Water
(Chorus)
Suddenly I want to go back home
Return to the swamp
To sit in Kasit with Moshe and Chatske
Give me Mount Tibor
Give me the Kinneret
I love and keep falling in love with my little Israel
Warm and Charming
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
