I look at all the lonely people. I look at all the lonely people.
Ella Marigby Picks up the rice in the church where her wedding has been; Lives in a dream. Waits at the window, Wearing a 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 MacKenzie Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear; No one comes near. Look at him working, Nodding 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?
I look at all the lonely people. I look at all the lonely people.
Ella Marigby Died in the church and was buried alone with her name. Nobody came. Father MacKenzie Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from her grave. No one was saved. All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Breathe, breathe in the air Dont be afraid to care Leave but dont leave me Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly And smiles youll give and tears youll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be
