Eleanor Rigby

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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?

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 (ah, look at all the lonely people!)

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people!)

Where do they all belong?
