Meet you at the statue in an hour
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
The catcher hits for 318 and catches every day
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
A trail for the Devil to erase
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Songwriters: Richard Colburn, Chris Geddes, Stevie Jackson, Robert Kildea, Sarah Martin, Stuart Murdoch
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
The saddest book you ever had to read always makes you cry
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
The statue’s crying too and well he may
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
Maybe, but not what she deserves
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell about
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?

You’d settle for an epitaph like 'Walk Away, Renee'
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
A lady stepping from the song we love until this day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
