Message from Rita
Open the door leading through the foyer
Thought I heard the window breathe
Wind was blowing like a thousand voices
Heart was beating very loud
Kettle was yelling on the kitchen stove
Should have told me everything
Stars were dying right before my eyes
Where had the light of the world gone
Rita's getting older every day
Doesn't own a clock
What she knew, I can't say
Her face says it all
Screens that trap the fresh air
Signs that scream to show the change
Cotton dress so neatly kept
For a life so well arranged
Love makes the world go 'round
She never even feels it turn
The sun it shines onto the snow
And doesn't even feel it burn
Surround us, surround us
Such pretty hands
Surround us
Surround us, surround us
Such pretty hands
Surround us
Rita's getting older every day
Never gets a break
What she knew, I can't say
Her jewelry dances 'round her wrist
And her lover walks away
Her jewelry dances 'round her wrist
And her lover walks away
Her lover walks away
Thought I heard the window breathe
Wind was blowing like a thousand voices
Heart was beating very loud
Kettle was yelling on the kitchen stove
Should have told me everything
Stars were dying right before my eyes
Where had the light of the world gone
Rita's getting older every day
Doesn't own a clock
What she knew, I can't say
Her face says it all
Screens that trap the fresh air
Signs that scream to show the change
Cotton dress so neatly kept
For a life so well arranged
Love makes the world go 'round
She never even feels it turn
The sun it shines onto the snow
And doesn't even feel it burn
Surround us, surround us
Such pretty hands
Surround us
Surround us, surround us
Such pretty hands
Surround us
Rita's getting older every day
Never gets a break
What she knew, I can't say
Her jewelry dances 'round her wrist
And her lover walks away
Her jewelry dances 'round her wrist
And her lover walks away
Her lover walks away
