All These People Lyrics - Oh, My Nola - Harry Connick, Jr.

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
