Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs by The Beatles
Subject: Lyr Add: ELEANOR RIGBY (Lennon/McCartney)
To me they were always Evolving....and diverse from the start of the Band till the end....I don't 'Love" every song they wrote but I do LOVE a lot of them. I grew up with them so.......Here's two of my favorites:
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?
Ah, look at all the lonely people. Ah, 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?
and my other choice:
The long and winding road That leads to your door Will never disappear I've seen that road before It always leads me here Leads me to you door
The wild and windy night That the rain washed away Has left a pool of tears Crying for the day Why leave me standing here Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone And many times I've cried Any way you'll never know The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back To the long winding road You left me standing here A long long time ago Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back To the long winding road You left me standing here A long long time ago Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I hope you find something in the hundreds of Songs they wrote Ebbie that helps you like them....:>) Love and Light Jude
