[00:09.61]Elope with me Miss Private and we'll sail around the world
[00:14.12]I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
[00:18.63]How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
[00:22.97]How many nights of limping 'round on pagan holidays?
[00:27.17]Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
[00:32.22]A trail for the devil to erase
[00:36.67]San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
[00:41.07]Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
[00:45.54]We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
[00:50.08]We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
[00:54.12]About the saddest book you ever read
[00:56.88]It always makes you cry
[00:59.36]The statue's crying too and well he may
[01:03.87]I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
[01:08.25]I love you my responsibility has found a place
[01:12.77]Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
[01:17.32]Come wave upon me from the family why not that's absurd
[01:21.49]"You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job" "
[01:26.57]Maybe, but not what she deserves
[01:31.14]Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
[01:35.49]We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
[01:39.98]A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
[01:44.48]We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
[01:48.75]And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
[01:53.59]In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
[01:58.26]The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
[02:02.65]The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
[02:07.18]He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
[02:11.78]He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
[02:15.80]Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
[02:20.83]Life outside the diamond is a wrench
[02:25.55]I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
[02:29.94]I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
[02:34.57]A lady stepping from the song we love until this day
[02:39.27]You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee"
[02:43.07]The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
[02:48.38]Meet you at the statue in an hour
[02:52.93]Meet you at the statue in an hour
