People Watching - Sam Fender

Lyrics by：Sam Fender

I people watch on the way back home

Envious of the glimmer of hope

Gives me a break from feeling alone

Gives me a moment out of the ego

I used to feel so invincible

I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of

Back in the Gasworks screamin' the song

Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart

Oh I feel so dark rememberin'

Oh my heart I feel so dark rememberin'

I people watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darlings on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I came back home after seven years

Wide awake tracing tracks of her tears

Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it

I promised her I'd get her out of the care home

The place was fallin' to bits

Understaffed and overruled by callous hands

The poor nurse was around the clock

And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart

But it wasn't hard when you love someone

Oh I stayed all night till you left this life that's just love

I people watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darlings on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

Above the rain soaked Garden of Remembrance

Kittiwakes etched your initials in the sky

I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times

And I hold you in my heart till the day I die

I people watch on the way back home

Everybody on the treadmill runnin'

Under the billboards out of the heat

Somebody's darlings on the street tonight

Oh I can't stop runnin'

I see the whole town fall

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home

I people watch on the way back home
