Olivia Lyon - Rita Lyrics

I left the Harbor and ran to the city
Searching a lost heart promised me
Burning in my mind
Like falling Shasta pines
Rita moved to Chicago
Mama's lost her mind
Daddy's off to sell cigarettes
And fill that silver mine
Now you're all I can call mine
What a failure have I become
I can't feed myself these days
Keep our old bedroom on fire
And my heart inside a cage
Rita moved to Chicago
Mama's lost her mind
Daddy's off to sell cigarettes
And fill that silver mine
Now you're all I can call mine
One morning the sun broke through our window
And you climbed out into the rain
You left a note beside the bed and I
Read it twenty times and hung my head for blame
"My love for you is just a shadow
Of the love you have for me
So I've got to let you be"
Rita moved to Chicago
Mama's lost her mind
Daddy's off to sell cigarettes
And fill that silver mine
Now there's nothing left but time
