Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon

That no one will hear.

No one comes near.

Look it him working, darning his socks in the night

When there's nobody there.

What does he care?

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried a long with her name.

Nobody came.

Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands

As he walks from the grave.

No one was saved.

 

CHORUS:
