Gehrig's Keychain

from Glorious - EP by Martin Rivas

/

lyrics

I saw the uniforms collected in the Hall of Fame
Hard to believe, so many heroes from a simple game
And the men become like boys
Breathing on the glass
Quiet as a church
Teach your children well
I won't forget
I felt a touch from up above when I made Gehrig's keychain shake

I felt the glory of the moments on the winning team
I saw the innocence reflected that was lost inside a dream
And I left it on the field
Right near second base
My heart was racing faster than the tears upon my face
I couldn't go
I thought I heard an angel sing when I made Gehrig's keychain shake

I had to touch the Baby's face when I came to it on the plaque
I had to touch it 'cause he touched it, and he wasn't coming back
And I'll come to see him here
Stare at what he wore
Touch him through a window of a time that played before
And I'll always feel the longing that I felt when I made Gehrig's keychain shake
