Died, aged 44, asleep

Nog voor het ontbijt:
Weet jij wat ik een mooi liedje vind?
- ...
- Ah, look at all the lonely people! Van The Beatles, weet jij welk dat liedje is?





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...

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...
