The Three Muses Challenge - Song lyrics


Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
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
She keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?
Lyrics "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles.
