Refrein:
Ah, look at all the lonely people (2x)

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?

Refrein 2:
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?

Refrein 2

Refrein

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
