Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from? Yeah
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
[Verse 3]
Ah, look at all those lonely people
Ah, look at all those lonely people now
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
I heard him say, "All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all come from?"
He turned to me and he said, "All the lonely people, yeah
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all belong now?"
[Verse 6]
Ah, look at all those lonely people (People), yeah (People)
Ah, look at all the lonely people (People, people)
[Verse 7]
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 walks from the grave
No one was saved
[Verse 8]
And he said, "All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all come from?"
The man looked at me and he said, "All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all belong?"
[Verse 9]
Ah, look at all those lonely people (People, people)
Ah, look at all the lonely people (People, people)
[Verse 10]
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
I want somebody to tell me, all the lonely people
(Ah, look at all those lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
