Eleanor Lyrics by Hot Chip
When you’re standing there can you really
Just ignore his prayers to be reunited
With that child that has lost its
Father standing there, by his side and…
…When I walk out in the sea
All the waves crash over me
When the world smashes into you
Let it be a central part of you
If you choose to remember me
Hold me gently as you fall asleep
Even if you believe that there’s nothing more
I feel heaven knocking at our door
Eleanor – evermore, Eleanor – evermore
Eleanor
Eleanor – evermore
When you’re standing there can you really (Eleanor)
Just ignore the call of memory (Eleanor)
To be back in those arms and walk again (Eleanor)
In the moment when you were still friends
Don’t you know we’re not roving free
We’re just a part of ecology
And when the words are escaping me
I try to speak with economy
If you choose to remember me
Hold me gently as you fall asleep
Even if you believe that there’s nothing more
I feel heaven knocking at our door
Eleanor – evermore, Eleanor – evermore
Eleanor
Eleanor
You’re a like a river flowing
That will never stop
You’re like the toughest tree
That withstands the chop
You’re like Andre the Giant
On his way to school
Beckett gave him a ride
Before there was carpool
He knew to pick him up
Show him the way to go
But I bet he learned a thing or two
Riding with Andre in tow
If you choose to remember me
Hold me gently as you fall asleep
Even if you believe that there’s nothing more
I feel heaven knocking at our door
Eleanor
I see you forming in my Marazion memories
I see you calling in these Marazion memories
I see you forming in my Marazion memories
I see you calling in these Marazion memories
