lyrics
His words don’t come easy, it’s been hard to disguise.
She knows something’s wrong, just by the look in his eyes.
His steps are reluctant, as he comes through the door.
He thinks he’s seen her before.
When she feels his fear, when his mind begins to stray,
She whispers softly to him, “everything’s gonna be OK.”
Now he’s in a place, where every day is the same.
They come and they sit and repeat their names.
When he remembers, they say goodbye.
Eleanor waits, for another try.
When she feels his fear, when his mind begins to stray,
She whispers softly to him, “everything’s gonna be OK.”
Eleanor waits,
Eleanor weeps,
Tonight she holds on tightly to him, until he falls asleep.
Oh take me back, across the shore,
Back to that place we were before,
When we were young, in our hearts,
Oh God, I miss you Eleanor.
That was our place, for you and me,
And now it haunts my memory.
And you are like, a living ghost,
And you don’t know me, anymore.
Eleanor waits,
Eleanor weeps,
She holds on tightly to him, until he falls asleep.
Eleanor waits,
Eleanor weeps,
She holds on tightly to what God will let her keep.
