  • You can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
    Her response is getting stronger I 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 just the end
    I just hope she's coming round again
    I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
    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 lost my confidence in doubt
    Is she coming 'round for me once again, around or was that just 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
    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 just the end
    I just hope she's coming round again Writer/s: J. SWAFORD, J. VALENZUELA
