Rita Is Gone

She was surrounded while she was alone

When did my house become less of a home?

She was so tired

But her eyes remained opened

So much to see

But her words remained unspoken

Weep not for me

For my mind want holdin' no peace

Rita carried so much weight

Nobody knew till it was too late

Rita is gone

She ain't coming back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

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 help me, baby

This hearts been breaking slowly

But this loneliness can kill me faster

Find it in yourself to stay

Rita is gone

She ain't coming back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

Lord, she's gone

She ain't coming back in your lifetime

She's gone

She won't wait for you in your next life

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, she's gone
