Eleanor Rigby Lyrics

Richie Havens Eleanor Rigby

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a
wedding
has been
Lives in a dream
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 ?

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
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

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
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
