The Fenway

(album: Rockin' And Romance - 1985)

Now I was born by the Fenway in Beth Israel Hospital
Could that help to explain why I love the Fenway so well
Nowhere do I feel more at home, it seems
Then on the Fenway, where I dreamed my dreams

Well, I was small, they took us to old Mechanics Hall
We got to see the Mighty Ted Williams
Put one over the right field wall
All that nostalgia comes out every day, you see
On the Fenway where I've dreamed dreams

Sometimes it rains, and then it is just damp and cold
Sometimes I've roamed, its little paths when I've felt old
Now smell the air, and you'll smell exhaust fumes everywhere
Cause the place is just too narrow not to be bothered by them there

But there's silence to the place when you stand there in the sun
And there's an echo from an era that's already past and gone
And there is silence in the Gardener Museum
Where's that?
It's on the Fenway where I've dreamed my dreams

Well, after all
Clap your hands...

And there's a silence to that place as you stand there in the sun
And there's also this haunting silent sorrow cause the glory days have gone
And there is silence in the Gardener Museum
Where's that?
Well, it's on the Fenway, as you know, where I've dreamed my dreams
Boston's Fenway, where I've dreamed my dreams
