Sometimes I Dream of Willie Mays Lyrics by The Baseball Project

Volume 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails

0

[Verse]
It's 1965, me and my dad, Mac
Fifty miles to Candlestick in our green VW van
A Giants-Dodgers pennant race
Mays and Koufax face to face
[Chorus]
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the sun comes out
And the fog lifts
And he's there
[Verse]
Now it's 1973, right across the Bay
Playing right field for the Mets
A ball goes through his legs
I cheer the A's to victory
But that was something I never wanted to see
[Chorus]
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down
And the sun comes out
And the fog lifts
And he's there
[Verse]
In 1954, I was born into this dream
The kind that's always black and white
Like an old newsreel I've seen
A mile away in the Polo Grounds
He pulls it in and spins himself around
[Chorus]
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And tell him I was there
Sometimes I dream of Willie Mays
And the wind dies down
And the sun comes out
And the scoreboard works
And the fog lifts
And he's there
And I'm there
