St. Rita's Dream

I've been locked inside this basement Writing down my thoughts and dreams All the desires of my heart Are hanging by my guitar strings I'm running out of reasons I'm running out of time I'm running out of these little white pills That help me clear my mind Oh Saint Rita Can you help me please I saw you once on a movie screen I need you to pray for me Now there's this girl that I left back home And she means everything to me But I've got some things to get off my chest So at night I stand up here and scream Saint Rita don't let her change her mind If she gets tired of being alone Need her to know I think about her all the time But you can't feel love through the phone Oh Saint Rita Can you help me please I saw you once on a movie screen I need you to pray for me Oh Saint Rita Won't you help me please The patron saint of impossible dreams I need you to pray for me Now I don't have a pretty rosary And I don't know how to pray But when that blood ran down your face I know you felt my pain No I don't have a pretty rosary And I don't know the Catholic ways But I'm a good man with a single rose Asking you to pray Oh Saint Rita Can you help me please I saw you once on a movie screen I need you to pray for me Oh Saint Rita Won't you help me please The patron saint of impossible dreams I need you to pray for me Saint Rita
