Ortencia
Words and Music by Tom Franz
V1
On the corner of last and no chance
Is where I choose to sell my soul
And the American Dream has lost it romance
Too much freedom can take its toll
Pre
The seekers and the sought and the rest of the lot
Have traveled out west as an afterthought
And they are walking Fisherman?s Wharf tonight
And they are looking for
Chorus
Ortencia
She can help me
Make sense of the
World I?m living in
And my sins
And when did I begin
Just to cope
And loose hope
I am just living to the end
V2
Where con and Carney they mingle
The tourists and transients they meet
The saints and the sinners both angle
Because for lost souls they compete
Pre
I close up shop step into the street
I?m received by the masses and we complete
The walk down Fisherman?s Wharf tonight
Chorus
Bridge
I think I?ll walk up down to North Beach
To that dive Italian Bar
Buy some medicine for Nafi
Then I?ll search near and far
Chorus
