about

Wanted to write a song on loneliness - this is my Eleanor Rigby

lyrics

Penny sat there all alone
No flowers in the vase
She was All by herself
Within those self imposed bars

No one comes to visit
Or call her anymore
She keeps her clothes pressed
At the bottom of the drawer

The boys once looked twice
I think that says it all
Now she just does crosswords
And looks at pictures on the wall

Oo oo Penny
Where did it all go wrong
Maybe you’re just different
Never quiet belong

Ooo penny
You think of what might have been
Of all that has past you by
Searching within

A jigsaw sat unfinished
It was Rather like her life
Pulled apart piece by piece
Struggling to survive

Her friends are all long gone
Like paper chains in the rain
The face she keeps beside the door
It Hides all of her pain

She sits drinking tea alone
Playing with her golden chain
Reminding her yet again
That nothing stays the same

Oo oo Penny
Where did it all go wrong
Maybe you’re just different
Never quiet belong

Ooo penny
You think of what might have been
Of all that has past you by
Searching within
