I saw you there in your bridal gown
Sitting there thinking I'm not around
I try to smile but it's bringing me
Down, down, down
It started with a photograph
Then in a bar, then at your place undressed
Oh well, baby, I just had to laugh
Cause you are, you are different to me
And when I call your name
You don't act the same, Eleanor
So I tried to go and twist your heart
But life and love, well, they're so far apart
And no one is who they say they are
And nothing ever comes easy
And, no, nothing ever comes for free
In the back of my mind I said to myself
Cause you are, you are different to me
And when I call your name
You don't act the same, Eleanor
I am, I am different to you
And when you call my name
You don't want to stay here anymore
Eleanor, you are my only friend
Don't turn your back upon me
Don't you walk away
I sat alone with your photograph
Fixed a drink, then I went back to bed
And dreamed of all the things we ever said
Cause you are, you are different to me
And when I call your name
You don't act the same
Eleanor, Eleanor
I am, I am different to you
And when you call my name
Won't you hear me say?
I love you, I love you, I love you
Eleanor
