집이 서울에서 조금 먼 관계로 출퇴근을 위해 매일 약간은 먼 길을 가곤 한다.

강서구에 머무는 때를 제외하면 대부분 지하철을 타는데, 그때마다 나는 사람들을 보며 이 노래를 떠올린다.

외로운 사람들. 

서로 알아볼 수도 없고 천만명 중의 하나라는 정도의 존엄성밖에 가질 수 없는 외로운 사람들.

지친 육신때문에 많은 순간 인생에서 가장 중요한 꿈이 자리에 앉는 게 되어버리는 외로운 사람들.

그들은 어디서 오고 어디로 가는걸까



Eleanor Rigby 

-Beatles


Ah, look at all the lonely people 
Ah, look at all the lonely people 

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been, 
Lives in a dream 
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door 
Who is it for? 

All the lonely people 
Where do they all come from? 
All the lonely people 
Where do they all belong? 

Father Mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear 
No one comes near. 
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there 
What does he care? 

All the lonely people 
Where do they all come from? 
All the lonely people 
Where do they all belong? 

Ah, look at all the lonely people 
Ah, look at all the lonely people 

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name 
Nobody came 
Father Mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved 

All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people) 
Where do they all come from? 
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people) 
Where do they all belong?
