Now that San Francisco's gone I guess I'll just pack it in
Wanna wash away my sins in the presence of my friends
You and I we head back East to find a town where we can live
Even in the half light we can see that something's gotta give
When we watched the markets crash
The promises we made were torn
Then my parents sent for me from out West where I was born
Some people say they've already lost
But they're afraid to pay the cost for what we've lost
Pay the cost for what we've lost
Now that you have left me here I will never raise my voice
All the diamonds you have here in this moment which has no life
All the seas have changed so much since I was a little child
Pray to God I won't live to see the death of everything that's wild
Though we knew this day would come still it took us by surprise
In this town where I was born I now see through a dead man's eyes
One day they will see it's long gone
One day they will see it's long gone
One day they will see it's long gone
One day they will see it's long gone
