Harry Connick Jr. - All These People lyrics

(Spoken)

I never saw nothing like that 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 to go there at all

There were all these people

Oh just waiting

I was so damned scared

I held hands with a crazy man

I was so damned scared

I held hands and bonded with the crazy man

But he wasn't crazy, and I wasn't scared

We were just brothers to sit there and stare

All all those people waiting there

Well the first two people I saw

We saw the way that they cared

I grabbed my brothers hand

Neither one of us could stand the shame]

Two of them, the two of us

Lying in water

Living in dust

So were all these people waiting there

Well the guy that showed me home

Was by a stranger's hand

And I carried on a moment

Just for the soul of a country man

I never knew you, I never stayed

I ain't gonna leave it

Nothing to pay

All those people waiting there

Well the next time I went down

There was no one there

And I wondered if my brother

Had bought another piece of land

One day a stranger, one day my kin

I thought I'd never see him again

Just like all those people waiting there
