Eleanor Rigby


(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rics 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

In Your Eyes


Seal no fate and hold no key
When all goes well spend some time remembering
Know by now that times have changed
But we feel each day can be deeper deeper

It might be raining now
But don't be scared you won't drown
I'll hold you in my arms when the rivers rise
Lay my heart besides your soul
Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes

Once my eyes get used to the dark
I look around it's almost like I'm dreaming
Shooting stars how they seem so close
I feel your body it's moving breathing

The Sky Is Falling


The lottery winner thinks forever
Is something she can buy
All the pictures on the wall
Are hanging high so they won't fall
Until her tear stained floor is dry

The pool shark's life is stranger than fiction
But today's his lucky day
He bets it all on a final game
But then he chokes ain't that a shame
The 8 ball had one last thing to say

Just stop the sky from falling
Falling down on me
Stray cats are creepy calling
Hound dog harmony
Just stop the sky from falling
Dodge the buck shot rain
This tree house free for all
The sky is falling
Who's got a crane

Jazz singer padlocks all his memories
Long nights have left their mark
His lava lamp condition
His black light intuition
How come tomorrow seams so dark?

Need To Know


How do I know what you say is real
How do I know if that's the way you feel
You're the only one who's seen me
In the dark hours in the kitchen chair
Are you still there do you still care
That's all I really need to know

Watching the rain come pouring down
Washing the stain off this old town
They say misery loves company
But ain't there something else we can share
Are you still there do you still care
That's all I really need to know

It scares a man
When glory days are gone
But here I stand
I know I'mn not alone
I got pictures in my mind
And the radio takes me back in time
Are you still there you're in my prayer
That's all I really need to know
