《Eleanor Rigby》的歌詞如下:
Eleanor Rigby
She was a good girl
She grew up so fast
She worked in a factory
And she worked in a dance hall
She was the only one
In a family of three
She was the mother
And the father and the sister
And she dreamed of the day
When she'd be married and free
But the boys she loved all went away
And she lost her way
And she weeps to see her family fall
And she weeps to see them all in pain
She weeps for her mother
Who never knew what to say
And she weeps for her father
Who cried in the night
And she weeps for her brother
Who's left with the pain
And she weeps for her sister
Who's fallen in shame
Chorus:
Eleanor Rigby had no name
She was a name on the street
She was a face in a crowd
She was a stranger to fate
She was the stranger
Who dreamed of returning home
To the life that she knew
But there was no-one home anymore
Oh she sings a sad song in church and I think I recognize it
In her cry she spoke the pain that they cannot hear and so they disregard her.
Her dream, an evening dress hanging in a wardrobe. Her desire, love that never came.
Oh, Eleanor Rigby. Oh, Eleanor Rigby.
Oh, Eleanor Rigby. Oh, Eleanor Rigby. She's dead now, but she lives on in our memories.
