The Modern Lovers - The Fenway lyrics
[The Modern Lovers - The Fenway lyrics]
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
Than 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
Somеtimes it rains
And then it's just damp and cold
Sometimеs I've roamed it's 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 Gardner 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 Gardner Museum
(Where's that?)
Well, it's on the Fenway, as you know
Where I've dreamed my dreams
Boston's Fenway, where I dreamed my dreams
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
Than 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
Somеtimes it rains
And then it's just damp and cold
Sometimеs I've roamed it's 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 Gardner 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 Gardner Museum
(Where's that?)
Well, it's on the Fenway, as you know
Where I've dreamed my dreams
Boston's Fenway, where I dreamed my dreams
