Eleanor rigby

This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.

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 a 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 theres 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?
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!

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?

Words and music by john lennon and paul mccartney
