[Verse 1: Michael Poulsen]
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
[Verse 2: Sarah Blackwood]
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
[Chorus: Michael Poulsen]
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 been bleeding too
[Verse 3: Sarah Blackwood]
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
[Chorus: Michael Poulsen]
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 been bleeding too
[Verse 4: Michael Poulsen w/ Sarah Blackwood]
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 we 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
[Bridge: Michael Poulsen]
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
[Chorus: Michael Poulsen & Sarah Blackwood]
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 been bleeding too
