Aah, look at all the lonely people
Aah, 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?

Aah, look at all the lonely people
Aah, 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?
