I wish there was some way to tell you, I’m sorry
That I didn’t leave you a long time ago
But many mistakes are part of the story
And heartache by heartache I’ve turned you to stone.

So call me a traveller, gonna catch me a train
I wanna see ‘Frisco, feel the sun shine again
If you want true love you can’t stand alone
A life here together has turned you to stone.

I’ve held you captive in a life without sunshine
And I’ve watched the blue in your eyes fade away
All good is gone now, no need to continue
Destroying each other, day after day.

So call me a traveller, gonna catch me a train
I wanna see ‘Frisco, feel the sun shine again
If you want true love you can’t stand alone
A life here together has turned you to stone…
