Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles

The song describes two lonely people - Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie. Eleanor Rigby picks up rice after weddings alone and lives in her own dreams. Father McKenzie writes sermons that no one hears and does chores alone at night. In the end, Eleanor Rigby dies alone with no one at her funeral, while Father McKenzie sadly walks away from her empty grave.

Where a weeding has been, lives in a dream.

That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?

All the lonely people,

Of a sermon that no one will hear, no-one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when theres nobody there, what does he care?

Chorus

Verse 3
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.
