Eleanor lyrics

I put your record on I sing the song you wrote And you're a world away But I feel closer to home I know I left behind Things I've loved before But I give you my heart Dearest Eleanor Eleanor Remember when you used to drive me home? After I played you the first song I wrote You said you thought it had potential Eleanor Remember when we used to sit alone? We wouldn't speak over the stereo Because we knew we didn't have to Eleanor I know it's been a long time Since we were young and full of longing But I never let you go I put your record on I sing the song you wrote And you're a world away But I feel closer to home I know I left behind Things I've loved before But I give you my heart Dearest Eleanor Eleanor Remember when we used to hate the kids Who didn't understand our politics? We didn't care we were self-righteous Eleanor We were all so full of suffering We had a catalog of songs to sing That would help us to forget Eleanor I know it's been a long time Since we were young and full of longing But I never let you go I put your record on I sing the song you wrote And you're a world away But I feel closer to home I know I left behind Things I've loved before But I give you my heart Dearest Eleanor
