St. Rita's Dream Lyrics

I’ve been locked inside this basement

Writing down my thoughts and dreams

All the desires of my heart

Are hanging by my guitar strings

I’m running out of reasons

I’m running out of time

I’m running out of these little white pills

That help me clear my mind

Oh Saint Rita

Can you help me please

I saw you once on a movie screen

I need you to pray for me

Now there’s this girl that I left back home

And she means everything to me

But I’ve got some things to get off my chest

So at night I stand up here and scream

Saint Rita don’t let her change her mind

If she gets tired of being alone

Need her to know I think about her all the time

But you can’t feel love through the phone

Oh Saint Rita

Can you help me please

I saw you once on a movie screen

I need you to pray for me

Oh Saint Rita

Won’t you help me please

The patron saint of impossible dreams

I need you to pray for me

Now I don’t have a pretty rosary

And I don’t know how to pray

But when that blood ran down your face

I know you felt my pain

No I don’t have a pretty rosary

And I don’t know the Catholic ways

But I’m a good man with a single rose

Asking you to pray

Oh Saint Rita

Can you help me please

I saw you once on a movie screen

I need you to pray for me

Oh Saint Rita

Won’t you help me please

The patron saint of impossible dreams

I need you to pray for me

Saint Rita
