HARRY CONNICK, JR. - All These People lyrics

rate me

I never saw nothing like that before in my life.

Mmmmmm

I hope I never see it again.

There were all these people, ohhh, just waitin there

There were all these people, ohhh, just waitin there for someone

But nobody came, nobody saw

'cause nobody wanted to go that far

There were all these people, ohhh, waitin there

Yeah

I was so damn scared I held hands with the crazy man

I was so damn scared I held hands and (wound up?) with the crazy man

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

We were just brothers, just stood there and stared

At all those people waiting there

Mm hmm

Well the first two people we saw left the way they came

I grabbed my brothers hand neither one of us could barely stand the shame

The two of them, the two of us

Dying in water, livin in dust

So were all those people waiting there

Yeaahh, alright

Well the guide that showed me home, was but a strangers hand -strangers hand

And I carried on unknown, just for the soul of a countryman

I never knew him, and I never (stayed?)

I ain't gonna leave him and now that we prayed

For all those people waiting there

Mmm hmmmm

This is for all those people

Well, the next time I went down there was 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
