Gin Blossoms Mrs. Rita song lyrics

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

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

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

I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round for me once again

Around or was that the end

I just hope she's coming round again

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

Well, 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

Is she coming round for me once again

Around or was that the end

I just hope she's coming round again

I just hope she's coming round...
