	With the strings, minor-key melody, female song-title, and generally sad feeling about the song, "Jenny Wren" sounds like Paul McCartney making an attempt to recapture one of his finest moments, "Eleanor Rigby". But this, too, is a very fine song which, unlike "Rigby", closes with some possibility of hope... I would probably appreciate the song more if I knew it's story/inspiration, if there is one.

Lyrics

Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart, took her soul away

Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world, and it's foolish ways

How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside
Loosing, site of life, day, by, day

She saw poverty, breaking all the home
Wounded warriors, took her song away

[Solo]

But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world, mends its foolish ways

Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
