Lyrics for Eleanor Rigby

I'm Eleanor Rigby, I picked up the rice In the church where the weddin's had been, yeah 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? Yeah All the lonely people Where do they all belong now? 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? Yeah All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Yeah Yeah (Eleanor) Hmm-hmm (Eleanor Rigby) Hey, yeah (Eleanor) Eleanor, hey, yeah (Eleanor Rigby) hmm-hmm 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? 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 (Eleanor Rigby) Ooh, lonely, only the lonely people know (Eleanor Rigby) Just like Eleanor Rigby, yeah Eleanor, Eleanor Rigby Only the lonely, yeah, the lonely God bless God bless the lonely
