Lyrics

Verse 1
-------
Sitting by in a cafe
Watching the world go by
Watching life
Unfold before my eyes

Young girl passes by
Throws her eyes up to the sky
And I wonder why
She came to pass my way

Da da da da dum

Verse 2
--------
Things get quite interesting
When you're just passing time
Unsure outcomes
Like the tossing of a dime

Sometimes I'm ill-at-ease
A witness to all I see
Feels like a crime
When all I pass is time

I am happy here
In a place which I hold near
All the while

Chorus
--------
Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
By the by the by

Verse 3
--------
Travelling road is long sometimes
It's lonesome all the time
With unsuspecting turns
And unrevealing signs

I've learned as a girl
To be in and of this world
This life's my oyster
And I'm a shining pearl

Seen a lot of faces
Been a lof ot places
All the while

Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
By the by the by

Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
By the by the by

Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
Sittin' by the by the by
By the by the by
