Lyrics of ' Telegraph Road 1977 & 2024 ' by Bastille

Lady with a dog, living in a doorway
On Telegraph Road
But have you seen what happened to you?
What led you this way?
You find yourself in Berkley
The Golden Gate Bridge extends before you feet
Well, it's a complicated place
These hills, these millions that walk on through
But nowhere for you

And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your light somewhere
Maybe on Broadway
Maybe some other street
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your light somewhere
Maybe on Broadway
Maybe some other street

And maybe it's not this city that brought you to this day
Could have been Chicago, perhaps LA
What sights, what loves, what pains
I wonder, lady, what's your hi-history?
Could have been some roses along the way
Or strange mysteries that led you to this doorway
Oh-ho, oh, with only dogs for company?

And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your light somewhere
Maybe on Broadway
Maybe some other street
And I guess that San Francisco's a lonely city
And you lost your light somewhere
Maybe on Broadway
Maybe some other street

So decades flew right on by
Fast-forward now I'm singing my father's words about you
Luck brought me through your town, it's built on big ideas and power
But the streets are still lined with those who call 'em home and maybe always will
I wonder to your name, your face, your feet forever in my mind
Sat with your dogs up there on Telegraph Road
