I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen

Her response is getting stronger

Think she's coming round again

Tell me Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot

Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again, around

Or was that the end

I just hope she's coming round again

I've been keeping myself busy

With my books and with my tapes

Everyday's much better since I slowed my drinking pace

There's no swimming in the bottle

It's just someplace we all drown

I lost myself in sorrow

Lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round, etc.

Get in the car and drive through town

Down the block and back around

Pretending she's there with me we drive

Gone forever...

My patience keeps me plaintive

My high hopes keep me alone

My lovers will is shaken

I wish she would just come home

So tell me Mrs. Rita, etc.

UNTIL I FALL AWAY

I want to tell if I am or am not myself

It's hard to know how far or if at all could go

Waiting far too long for something I forgot was wrong

I don't know all the answers I think I'll find

Or have it within the time but it's all that I'll have in mind

Until I fall away

That won't keep us waiting long

Until I fall away

I don't know what to do anymore

Until I fall away

My fear pretend that I'll never be alone again

It's real to me but not like these fools and not like this scene

I won't find or have it within the time

If it's all rusted and fade in the spot where we fell

Where I thought I'd left behind

It's loose now but we could try

Until I fall away... etc.

Where there's no good answers

To those new questions

Another personal disaster

There's nowhere to go but down...
