Rita where have you gone
I´ve been missing you for far too long
I feel so blue haven´t you heard
I am the lonesome rider hear the lonesome rider´s call home

Reaper where have you gone
see the lonesome rider carry on
his pain so blue haven´t you heard
he is the lonesome rider it´s the lonesome rider´s call home

Just feel all the love I´m giving you
I´m back from the war I´ve been missing you
where have you gone my baby blue
I´m here all alone I´ve bleeding too

Reaper please take him home
he´s been wandering for far too long
he feels so blue haven´t you heard
he is the lonesome rider it´s the lonesome rider´s call home

The dark reaper led the cowboy ahead into his final sunset
the dawn soon to come a cold wind will blow
he´s on his way home
my love never will be apart
and we´ll feel the sadness peeling from our fate
the day has now come where we belong together again
farewell so long

Rita I´m not alone
I can see you waiting in the doorway of our little cabin home
I feel so new haven´t you heard
I was the lonesome rider and the lonesome rider is home
