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 its 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
