Rick Cerone - "A Long Run Home"

"A Long Run Home"

In 1981, Cerone recorded "A Long Run Home," a song released as a 7" single on the Reel Dreams label. The song, written by Carl Henry and Bill Hudak and recorded in Newington, Connecticut, is sung from the point of view of a Newark baseball player visiting a New York Stadium during a snowstorm. The record sleeve notes that "Rick Cerone's royalties will be donated to the Italian Earthquake Victims Fund." The single failed to chart in the US.

Famous quotes containing the words long, run and/or home:

    “Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
    As shallow streams run dimpling all the way.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.”
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
