שלום לחברותי האהובות,
היום אני מתרגשת מאוד. אני כותבת את השורות האלה מבית קפה בסוסיליטו, העיירה הקליפורנית היפיפיה שממוקמת מיד אחרי שיוצאים מסאן פרנסיסקו דרך גשר הזהב.
צילמתי לכן תמונה.
המקום הזה תמיד יתקשר עבורי לואן מוריסון שחי ועבד פה וגם כותב הרבה בנושא.
לא התאפקי והעתקתי לכן את המילים של השיר הפחות מוכר שלו – In Tiburon.
וגם את היוטיוב.
תהנו,
שלכן,
ריקי שחם
Across the bay the fog is liftingAnd I am here in TiburonThat’s what she saidWhen she was sitting looking out at the Golden GateIn the morning dawn
Across the bay in San FranciscoWhere city lights and Ferlinghetti stayNorth Beach alleyways and cafésKerouac and GinsbergGregory Corso and Neal Cassady all held swayVince Guaraldi would play Cast Your Fate To The Wind in the distanceLenny Bruce got busted at the Hungry EyeThe No Name Bar down in SausalitoAcross the street where Chet Baker used to play
My heart was beating on the hillsideNear Belvedere and TiburonI need to take you back, back down to ‘FriscoNow we need each other, need each other to lean on
Vince Guaraldi would play Cast Your Fate To The, Fate To The WindAnd we’d listenIn the evening across the wayChet Baker would play down at the tridentWith his horn he blew everybody away
The Cliff House down at the Seal Rock HotelFoghorns blowing all night long ’til dawnGerry Street culchies left their homeland a long while agoSome have stayed, but others not for so long
My heart was beating on the hillsideNear Belvedere and TiburonTake you back down to San FranciscoNow we need each other more than ever to lean onNow we need each other more than ever, more than ever to lean onLean on meLean onNow we need each other more than ever to lean on
Back to city lghts, city lghts, North Beach and BroadwayWe need each otherWe need each other to lean on
Back to city lghts and North Beach, North Beach and BroadwayWe need each otherNeed each other to lean on
Across the bay in TiburonAcross the bay in TiburonAcross the bay in TiburonAcross the bay in Tiburon
