Eleanor Rigby

The Beatles

R: Ah look at all the lonely people
   ah look at all the lonely people.

1. Eleanor Rigby
   picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
   waits at the window
   wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
   who is it for?

*: All the lonely people
   where do they all come from
   all the lonely people
   where do they all belong?

2. Father McKenzie
   writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
   no one comes near
   look at him working
   darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
   what does he care?
*: All the lonely people...
R: Ah look at all the lonely people...

3. Eleanor Rigby
   died in the church and was buried along with her name
   nobody came
   Father McKenzie
   wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
   no one was saved,
*: All the lonely people...
