lyrics

Oh, Eleanor

Oh Eleanor I can see that you're smiling. God only knows what for.
The world is ending and its eyes are on us. You're busy dancing across the floor.

Eleanor. Oh, Eleanor. What in the hell are you smiling for?
The world is ending and its eyes are on us. You're busy dancing across the floor.

Seems like yesterday we had to hide our love away. We couldn't tell them it was true.
Now we sit and stare and say with our eyes 'what have we got ourselves into?'

Eleanor. Oh, Eleanor. What in the hell are you smiling for?
The world is ending and its eyes are on us. You're busy dancing across the floor.

Arthurdale was nice and, they know your sacrifice. But you could never save them all.
They know you did your best and, after all it was a test. And you were there each time they'd call.

Eleanor. Oh, Eleanor. What in the hell are you crying for?
The world is better and its eyes are off us. Go ahead and dance across the floor.
