Rita Is Gone

(album: The Marcus King Band - 2016)

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 wan't holding no peace
Rita carried so much weight
Nobody knew till 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 help me baby
This heart's 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
