Rita, Sweeter
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Rain on the door, it slides open wide
Silver baskets stacked up near the light
You reach for one and stand aside
Wet leaves on your coat, and I'm alright

[Pre-chorus]
No music playing, just the hum of the store
I've loved you plainer than this before
Something's rising, I can't hold it in no more

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the reason I came in
Anita never crossed my mind again
You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been
Rita, Rita, hold my hand

[Verse 2]
You push the basket, I walk behind
Nothing here worth talking about at all
Except you're laughing, and that's enough for mine
Except the way you catch me when I fall

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the reason I came in
Anita never crossed my mind again
You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been
Rita, Rita, hold my hand

[Bridge]
No candles lit, no fancy scene
Just wheels that squeak and floors gone clean
You're steady where the rest has been

[Chorus]
Rita, you're the reason I came in
Anita never crossed my mind again
You make the ordinary sweeter than it's been
Rita, Rita, hold my hand

[Outro]
The doors slide shut behind us now
Still smelling of rain, and I'm glad somehow
