[Harry Connick, Jr. - All These People lyrics]
Before in my life
I hope I never see it again
There were all these people
Oh, just waiting there
There were all these people
Oh, just waiting there for someone
But nobody came, nobody saw
'Cause nobody wanted to go there at all
There were all these people
Oh, waiting there yeah
I was so damned scared
I held hands with a crazy man
I was so damned scared
I held hands and wandered with the crazy man
But he wasn't crazy, and I wasn't scared
We were just brothers that
Stood there and stared
At all those people waiting there
Well, the first two people we saw
Left the way they came
I grabbed my brother's hand
Neither one of us could bear
To stand the shame
The two of them, the two of us
Dying in water, living in dust
So were all those people waiting there, yeah
Alright
Well, the guy that showed me home
Was but a stranger's hand (Stranger's hand)
And I carried on unknown
Just for the soul of a country man
I never knew him and I never stayed
I ain't gonna leave him now that we prayed
For all those people waiting there
(This is for all those people)
Well, the next time I went down
There was no one there (No one there)
And I wondered if my brother
Had finally found some peace of mind
One day a stranger, one day my kin
I'd probably never see him again
Just like all those people waiting there
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Waiting there
Waiting for someone to come and see about me
Mmm, waiting, yeah yeah
Come and see about me
