Mrs. Rita

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen Her response is getting stranger, think she's coming 'round again So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot? Read my palm and tell me, why do lovers come and go? [Chorus] Is she coming 'round for me once again? Around or was that just the end? I just hope she's coming 'round again [Verse 2] I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace There's no swimming in the bottle, it's just someplace we all drown And I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt [Chorus] Is she coming 'round for me once again? Around or was that just the end? I just hope she's coming 'round again [Bridge] Get in the car and drive through town Down the block and back around Pretending that she's there with me We drive Gone forever [Verse 3] My patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone My lover's will is shaken, I wish she would just come home So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot? Read my palm and tell me, why do lovers come and go? [Chorus] Is she coming 'round for me once again? Around or was that the end? I just hope she's coming 'round again Is she coming 'round for me once again? Around or was that the end? I just hope she's coming 'round again [Outro] I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round I just hope she's coming 'round
