The Felice Brothers

Cooperstown

Cooperstown

(album: Yonder Is The Clock - 2009)

The water's wide
It's deep and wide
It's down a long and windy road
And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it

In Narrow's Church
The white walled church
They're singing that gospel song
"By and by, I'mma see my King"

Oh, the clouds break
And the pews shake
And the choir softly cries
And it's Georgia in the spring of 1905

Oh, Ty Cobb
You're dead and gone
You had a game like a war machine
And through the great Hall of Fame you wander

In Tigers Field
A girl in heels
She had a face like a magazine
And through the long metal stands she wandered

Oh, the ball soared
The crowd roared
The scoreboard sweetly hummed
And tomorrow you'll surely know who's won

I'm on first
And you're on third
And all the wolves are all between
And everyone's sure that the game is over

The catcher's hard
He's mean and hard
And he nips at the batters' heels
And everyone's sure that the game is over

Oh, the ball soars
And the crowd roars
And the scoreboard sweetly hums
And tomorrow you'll surely know who's won

The water's wide
It's deep and wide
It's a down a long and windy road
And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it

Oh, the clouds break
And the pews shake
And the preacher's feet do pound
As the rain beats the streets of Cooperstown
