All the lonely peo
ple, where do
they all belo

Verse 2
Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon
That no one will he

Look at him working

night
When there's
nobody the
re. What does he ca
re?
Chorus 2
All the lonely peo
ple, where do
they all come fr

Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the gra
