Chorus:
Sitting in San Francisco by the water
I rinse my eyes in blue and green
It's beautiful in San Francisco by the water
so how is it that I feel so far away.

In front of me 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
you'd say you're not returning from here

Chorus...

I see Doctor J, tear down the nets
and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, touching the sky
it's a shame you're not here with me to see
It's so beautiful in San Francisco by the water

Chorus...

Suddenly I want to go home, back to the swamp
to sit in Kasit and laugh with Moshe and Chatskl
Give me a pieace of Mount Tabor and Kinneret
I love to fall in love with my little land of Israel
warm
and charming

Chorus...
