I wake up in the morning

To the morning bells

I dream of heaven

But she puts me through hell

I wanna live and hard before I die

But I'm never leavin this good thing, good thing behind

Her name was Rita

Rita was her name

And she loved, she loved

Chasing the sun, the sun away

Oh, my Rita's gone

She's been gone so long

She's gone

My Rita's gone

She's been gone so long

She's gone

My Rita's gone

She's gone

And there's a girl somewhere standing tall

Love in her eyes

Her eyes

They break my heart

Sha la la la la la

La la la la la

Yeah, oh yeah

Her name was Rita

Rita was her name

She loved she loved

Chasing the sun, the sun away

Oh, my Rita's gone

She's been gone so long

She's gone

My Rita's gone

She's been gone so long

She's gone

My Rita's gone

She's gone

And then the moon rise

She's my queen of the night

Queen of the night

Ruler of the tide, the tides

She's my queen of the night

Queen of the night

Sailor of the signs, the signs

She's chasing the sun away

Away
