Eleanor
main lyrics
She said, "give me perspective
give me peace of mind, I
is the world so selective, so lopsided, so unkind?"
"Way back in Virginia
way back in my history," she said
"is an empty-armed, empty-handed girl
is that me?" she said
and I said
You're no empty shell
you're no empty shell
you're no empty shell, I say
is the brightest, yeah
the loudest, yeah
heavenly bell, I said, Nell, you know
Plucked from the sky like diamonds
plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf
whether it's God's will or my wish, it happened, yeah, yeah, you were
plucked from the sky like a dragonfly
Almost an angel, Eleanor
almost an angel, Eleanor is
almost an angel, Eleanor
almost an angel
Almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel
She turns to her father
who said in a book, she said
why even bother?
he don't look up, he don't look up, he don't look up, he don't look up, he don't look still
he thinks he knows me well
he thinks he knows this heart
he's memorized my mind, he's just
memorized some lines
the brightest, yeah
the loudest, yeah
heavenly bell, I said, Nell, you know
Plucked from the sky like diamonds
plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf
whether it's God's will or my wish, it happened
thank God you were
plucked from the sky like a dragonfly or
Almost an angel, Eleanor
almost an angel, Eleanor is
almost an angel, Eleanor
almost an angel (yeah, oh)
Almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel (yeah)
almost an angel (yeah)
almost an angel (yeah), Eleanor
almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel (I've got my guardian angel)
almost an angel (I've got my guardian angel)
almost an angel (I've got my guiding light)
almost an angel (Eleanor is)
almost an angel, Eleanor (is)
almost an angel (Eleanor is)
almost an angel
almost an angel, yeah
