  • I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
    It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same.

    I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
    You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take.

    Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
    It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me.

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,

    Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
    Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all.

    Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
    But everything you gather is just more that you can lose.

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,

    All the things I planned to do I only did half way
    Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday.

    There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
    No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same.

    Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain. Writer/s: JERRY GARCIA, ROBERT HUNTER
