Words & music by paul simon | |
There were two men down | |
And the score was tied | |
In the bottom of the eighth | |
When the pitcher died | |
And they laid his spikes | |
On the pitcher's mound | |
And his uni-form was torn | |
And his number was left on the ground | |
Then the night turned cold | |
Colder than the moon | |
The stars were white as bones | |
The stadium was old | |
Older than the screams | |
Older than the teams | |
There were three men down | |
And the season lost | |
And the tarpaulin was rolled | |
Upon the winter frost |
