oh Eleonore
you came the long way home
coming with a dream
and going back alone
oh Eleonore
you have left this place
so there's no warm embrace
just a short hello
then turn around and go
oh Eleonore

oh Eleonore friends are hard to find
and you've left yours behind
you don't known where to stay
but that's the price you pay
oh Eleonore
it shouldn't bother me
you wanted to be free
I've known it before
since you've closed the door
oh Eleonore

and if you turn around you see
that there is no one else but me
I guess we both know what's best so forget about the rest

oh Eleonore
you came the long way home...
