Rita Is Gone

She was surrounded while she was alone When did my house become less of 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 weren't holdin' no peace Rita carried so much weight Nobody knew 'til it was to 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 hurt me, baby This heart's been breaking slowly But this loneliness could 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
