[00:06.98]Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
[00:13.38]  I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
[00:17.94]  How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
[00:22.59]  How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
[00:27.54]  Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
[00:32.31]  A trail for the devil to erase
[00:36.42]  San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
[00:40.81]  Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
[00:45.34]  We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
[00:50.03]  We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
[00:52.99]  About the saddest book you ever read
[00:56.48]  It always makes you cry
[00:58.71]  The statue’s crying too and Well he May.
[01:03.76]  I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
[01:05.80]  I love you my responsibility has found a place
[01:13.00]  Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
[01:16.94]  Come wave upon me from the family why not that's absurd
[01:21.28]  “You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
[01:26.90]  Maybe, but not what she deserves
[01:29.06]  Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
[01:35.13]  We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
[01:38.34]  A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
[01:44.12]  We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
[01:51.04]  And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
[01:54.67]  In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
[01:58.09]  The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
[02:01.34]  The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
[02:05.18]  He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
[02:11.34]  He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
[02:15.18]  a doorway
[02:16.54]  Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
[02:21.14]  Life outside the diamond is a wrench
[02:24.21]  I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
[02:30.02]  I know it wouldn’t come to love, my ******* pretend
[02:34.04]  A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
[02:38.71]  You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
[02:43.46]  The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
[02:48.25]  a flower
[02:49.48]  Meet you at the statue in an hour
[02:53.74]  Meet you at the statue in an hour
