Eleanor Rigby – Lyrics and Overall Form

Here are the Lyrics for Eleanor Rigby, the new song I'll be working on. It starts with a stand-alone introduction. This song is strophic with 3 verses having the same melody and harmony but different words set to it. And after each verse is the chorus.

{Intro}
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

{Verse 1}
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?

{Chorus}
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

{Verse 2}
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?

{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

{Chorus}
