about

Working with Fable Gazers podcast company, we've been thinking about how art and creativity can help us cope with the darkness life sometimes throws at us.
'Eleanor' is one of many songs exploring the idea of 'the muse’. This may be that perfect, yet forever elusive person who has inspired artists through the ages. It may also be the cheese you ate before bed, which gave you wild dreams. Who or what inspires you?

Look out for the podcast 'This Art May Save You' from Fable Gazers and follow us on Twitter @sstarlings and Insta @scarlet_starlings
Please share these songs with your friends, it really helps us to reach more people.

lyrics

Eleanor

No more excuses
No time for goodbyes
One day you’ll write to me
From somewhere far and wide


That look when you walked out the door
I didn’t expect it
To be the last.
You’d been promised so much more
Making a clean break
From your past


And it seems those years
Have been spent in vain
And it seemed so clear
The way ahead.


But it’s all too late
To be sure,
If you'll come back to me now

Eleanor
Why did you not stay?
I gave you all I had
You threw it all away

Eleanor
Eleanor
I thought we had something special
Something that was pure
Eleanor
Eleanor
I gave you all that you asked for
but it wasn’t enough
