Eleanor

She said give me perspective

Give me peace of mind I

Cause the world so selective

So lopsided

So unkind



Way back in Virginia

Way back in my

History she said



There's an empty armed

Empty handed girl

Is that me she said



And I said

You are no empty shell

You are no empty shell

You are no empty shell

I say

Cause the brightest ???

The loudest ???



Heavenly bound I said

Now you know



Plucked from the sky like diamond

Plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf

Whether it's

God's will

Or my wish

It happened yeah

You were

Plucked from the sky like dragonfly



Almost an angel, eleanor

Almost an angel, eleanor is...

She turns to her father

His head in a book

She said

Why even bother

He don't look up

He don't look up

He don't look up

He don't look up

He don't look still



He thinks he knows me well

He thinks he knows this heart

He's memorized my mind

He's just memorized some lines



The brightest ???

The loudest ???



Heavenly bound I said

Now you know



Plucked from the sky like diamond

Plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf



Whether it's

God's will

Or my wish



It happened

Plucked from the sky like dragonfly
