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?
Eleanor Rigby
The grave of Eleanor Rigby in St . Peter's Churchyard , Woolton , Liverpool . Although Paul McCartney has stated that the words he wrote for the Beatles song were not inspired by the grave it's a strange coincidence that this grave and the one nearby bearing the name McKenzie ( as in Father McKenzie ) are both in the grounds of St . Peters , where Lennon and McCartney spent many of their teenage hours . In fact they met at a gig by John Lennon's band " The Quarrymen " at the St. Peter's fete in 1957 , McCartney later joining the group .
