Lyrics Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the riceIn the church where a wedding has beenLives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the faceThat she keeps in a jar by the doorWho is it for?
All the lonely peopleWhere do they all come from?All the lonely peopleWhere do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the wordsof a sermon that no one will hearNo one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socksIn the night when there's nobody thereWhat does he care?
Lyrics
All the lonely peopleWhere do they all come from?All the lonely peopleWhere do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely peopleAh, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the churchAnd was buried along with her nameNobody cameFather McKenzie, wiping the dirtFrom his hands as he walks from the graveNo 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?
The Meaning of Eleanor Ribgy Eleanor Rigby was an old lonely, who no
one cared about because she had isolated herself from everyone else. She had a fake facial impression pretending that she was happy, when she was actually lonely and depressed. Nobody cared about her death because she lonely, no one came to her funeral. The minister did not care about Eleanor wiping the dirt means getting rid of something and forgetting about it.
