People You Were Going To Lyrics – Peter Hammill
Singer: Peter Hammill
Title: People You Were Going To
Your father has just left your mother
Gone off to live with his latest lover;
She sits there, just staring
So you get back to your own flat
Because the atmosphere in there
Is so bad you can’t bear it
And the people you were going to America with
Just left on the dawn plane
Without you
The people in the downstairs flat
Are no longer there now because they left
The gas tap on, they’re all dead
So you’ve no-one left to talk to
You just lie there in melancholy
Half-naked on your unmade bed
And the people you were going to Africa with
Just left on the Southern Star
Without you
Without you
Yes, and the haze that’s been forming round your window-panes
Is now protracted and poisoned
And you cannot feel a portion of the world outside
Can you imagine the way you’d feel
If all these things had happened to you
And the doctor says you’re dying?
That is the way that I feel now
On finding that your love belongs
To someone else and not I
And my chance of heaven has just blown away
Upon a passing cloud and there is nothing that I can do
Without you
Without you
Yes, and my chance of heaven has just blown away
Upon a passing cloud and there is nothing that I can do
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
Gone to [?] to Africa
The people you were going to
Have left, gone far away
And you’re lonely now
The people you were going…
