'My Brother Lived in San Francisco'
From
'Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens'
Words by Bill Russell
Music By Janet Hood


My Brother Lived in San Francisco.
He said he'd finally found his place.
And when I go to San Francisco,
Everywhere I look, I see his face.

Bud and I faced childhood
under stark Montana skies,
And Bud, he seemed to always
have cities in his eyes.
He longed for possibility.
He lived to move away,
And he finally found his dream
in the city by the bay.

Joe and I were best of friends
in our small time college town.
And Joe had personality --
what a campus clown.
His jokes hid deeper rivers
that bubbled far below
And he rode the current West,
where the rapid waters flow.

Lots of us had brothers there
who would love to show the sights,
And share the balmy freedom
of San Francisco nights.
They liked it so much more
than anywhere they'd been...
And we thought they would be there
When we made it back again.

My brother lived in San Francisco.
He said he'd finally found his place.
And when I go to San Francisco,
Everywhere I look, I see his face.
