Eleanor Rigby Lyrics By Ray Charles

    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

    pre
    all the lonely people where do they all come from yeah
    all the lonely people where do they all belong

    i look at all those lonely people
    i look at all those lonely people now

    father mckenzie
    writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
    no one comes near
    look at him working
    donning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
    what does he care

    pre
    i heard him say
    all the lonely people i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all come from
    he turned to me and he said
    all the lonely people yeah i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all belong now

    i look at all the lonely people people yeah people
    i look at all the lonely people people oh people

    eleanor rigby
    died in the church and was buried along with her name
    nobody came
    and father mckenzie
    wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave
    no one was saved

    pre
    and he said
    all the lonely people i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all come from the man looked at me and he said
    all the lonely people i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all belong

    i look at all the lonely people people people
    i look at all the lonely people people oh people

    all the lonely people i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all come from i want somebody to tell me
    all the lonely people i look at all the lonely people
    where do they all belong
