Eleanor, Next Door

"I think it looks like rain"
She pulls her coat up over her face
And makes her good-byes

Back home, safe and warm
She turns the television on
Volume zero

Yeah, the garden is overgrown - it's alright
She's gotten used to living on her own
It's not that bad

She'll spend the night
Writing letters by lamplight
Words that never wither or fade...

Eleanor's not sleeping anymore
The night is long
The dark has nothing to hide

For years and years
He never left her side

The neighbors keep an eye
She wears her politest smile
But they don't get her

She'll spend the night
Writing letters by lamplight
Words that never wither or fade...

Eleanor's not sleeping anymore
The night is long
The dark has nothing to hide

For years and years
He never left her side

In a different time
The echoes built
Like summer thunder

We shared our lives
Memories scattered
On this endless shore

Oh, dive in headfirst
But I haven't felt
The ocean on my skin
Even once in the last seven years

The night is long
The dark has nothing to hide

For years and years
He never left
