Rita Is Gone

[Verse 1]

She was surrounded while she was alone

When did my house become less of a home?

She was so tired

But her eyes remained open

So much to say

But her words remained unspoken

Weep not for me

For my mind weren't holdin' no peace

Rita carried so much weight

Nobody knew 'til it was too late

[Chorus]

Rita is gone

She ain't comin' back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

[Verse 2]

Said I'm loneliest when I'm with you

At my best when I'm alone

But I need someone here beside me, baby

Please don't stay gone too long

'Cause your love continues to hurt me, baby

This heart's been breakin' slowly

But this loneliness could kill me faster

Find it in yourself to stay

[Chorus]

Rita is gone

She ain't comin' back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

Lord, she's gone

She ain't comin' back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

[Outro]

Rita is gone

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

Rita is gone

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

Rita is gone

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

Rita is gone

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

Rita is gone

Gone, gone, gone...
