Eleanor

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 catalogue 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
