LYRICS FOR "Eleanor Rigby"

I'm Eleanor Rigby, I picked up the rice
In the church where the weddin's had been
I'm Eleanor Rigby, I'm keepin' my face in a jar by the door
You wanna know what is it for?

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

Father McKenzie
Writin' a words to a sermon that no one will hear, no one comes near
Look at him workin', darnin' his socks in the night
What does he care

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

Eleanor
Eleanor Rigby
Eleanor
Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came

Father McKenzie
Wipin' the dirt from his hands
As he walked from the grave

Sayin' all the lonely people
Where do, where do they come from?
All over the world, the lonely, lonely, lonely people
Where do, where do they all belong?

Lonely
Only the lonely know
The lonely
Only the lonely people know

Just like a Eleanor Rigby
Eleanor, Eleanor Rigby
Only the lonely, the lonely, loneliness
Gotta love some lonely people
