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 to a sermon that no-one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when nobody's 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?
