Lyric discussion by taretare84 

I think Father McKenzie and Eleanor were meant to be together but never were. Two lonely people who could have been together. She was frequenting the church where he worked and he was the only one who attended her funeral. He came as a friend because he picked up dirt to throw over her. It's sad because if you are a lonely person, you never know how close you may be to someone else who is lonely.
