Lyrics
They sit, they walk and lay
Then talk, they smile, they frown
As they get around in their world
While I watch from mine
Pushing their possessions, clutching their bags
Carrying their totes and hauling their child
It's just an observation
This one seeks his lover, the other wishes to know
Which one has experienced the tragedy of their life
A look of sadness and discontent
As he sits on the periphery of his family
Who seems hell bent excluding this man
It's just an observation
See that little one with her big one
Quickly stepping to keep up
Here comes the cowboy,
Galloping to the stall
Ms. Chatter Box for all to hear
How her day has been to someone
Who didn't seem to care
Chorus:
It's just an observation, watching these folks go by
On there way to somewhere, I don't know
But I try, to read their faces
And get to the heart of the matter
These are my observations while I wait for mine
Holding hands, oh how sweet
I wonder how long it'll last
A man next to me, stuffing himself
I guess to fill that void
Two suits, two skirts, a menage a four
Dressed all in black, what's up with that
It's just an observation
Weary workers waiting
Watching the clock tick and tock
A family of four discussing their plans
Ready to take off to a distant land
The cell at his ear to take that call
Even though the wait wouldn't have made a difference at all
It's just an observation
The first time in this garden
Eyes open in wonderment
Wait till they get a load of humanity
And wonder what is was all about
Oooh that's a cute one, travelling all alone
I wonder what his story is, is anyone waitin'
Chorus:
It's just an observation, watching these folks go by
On there way to somewhere, I don't know
But I try, to read their faces
And get to the heart of the matter
These are my observations while I wait for mine
It's just an observation
While I wait for mine
