Eleanor Rigby Lyrics - John Denver

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 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! 

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!
