People You Were Going To

Peter Hammill

Composição de: Peter Hammill
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, 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, 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. 
My chance of heaven has just blown away 
upon a passing cloud and there is nothing that I can do 
without you. 

The people you were going to 
have left, gone far away and you're lonely
