lyrics
Eleanor, oh Eleanor
Will you return from bondage drear?
I'll be your troubadour forever.
You work too much and you try too hard,
And each and every day your strength grows less.
You talk so much and you drop your guard.
Tomorrow always ends up as a guess.
Eleanor, oh Eleanor
Will you return from bondage drear?
I'll be your troubadour forever.
You hardly know that I exist,
Though I'm your only hope.
You saw me crane my neck inside
A faceless crowd of people.
It's far too much - in fact, impossible
To hold you here in my arms,
But all my dreams would be realised
In the presence, dear, of your... precious charms.
No lance for me, no horse to ride,
No dragon that this modern world would know -
I'll wait until someone else decides
How soon or not your husband lets you go.
Eleanor, oh Eleanor
Will you return from bondage drear?
I'll be your troubadour forever, yeah.
Eleanor, oh, Eleanor
Will you return from bondage drear?
I will wait for you forever.
