Song Lyrics - As The People Gathered
As I went down to SoCo lane
The people spent their money willfully
They gathered for food and drink
And gave their soul so willingly
I went to the lake to catch a breeze
But felt only parched and torn
The sometimes islands had risen
I saw a new world had been born
As the man lumbered along
What did his eyes foreshadow?
He showed me the possibilities
While he washed my window
In a moment I was back
And the people looked away
A stranger to them and no more
Would they walk where I would lay?
She met my eye with her own
The unspoken wonder filled the room
Then it was gone as quickly as it came
The butterfly climbed back into her cocoon
How could they know
That I had studied their mind?
With a view from the street
I cannot join with their kind
I soon departed content but alone
Further commerce I no longer wanted
To trade and come together as a mob
Is only for those who are hunted
