BALTIMORE CLIPPER
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: steel scrapes the ice
like showers of rice
as the sticks chase the puck
up the ice, up the ice.
I. I don't read the numbers --
their faces I know.
the Baltimore Clippers
move and they flow
like the wind of freedom.
newspaper photos
of out-of-town games,
autograph books
that are full of French names...
wish that I could be them.
CHORUS: where have all the heroes gone?
gone to the majors
one by one by one.
II. a Baltimore Clipper
I wanted to be.
but now I am older,
I have my degree
and a grey profession.
now even the veterans
are younger than me.
do all the old heroes
hunger to be
reliving their obsession?
CHORUS: where have all the heroes gone?
gone to the majors
one by one by one.
