Lonesome Rider (feat. Sarah Blackwood) Lyrics
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 been 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
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
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
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
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 been 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
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
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
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

It's about a solider who has come home from war, but the reveal is that he's dead and he doesn't know it. His wife at home sees Death himself follow her around, along with the husband. She tries to make a deal with Death to be with her husband, but Death tells her that death was the only way. So she jumps from a cliff as Death watches her. The two find each other on their way to the afterlife.
Explained by Michael Poulsen, "It is about a cowboy who gets drafted into war, and when he returns, he’s actually not aware that he’s dead. So he’s actually strolling around as a spirit on his horse and can’t find his wife. What he doesn’t know is that she also passed while he was in the war, and he has no idea that he’s dead and she left him. So he’s strolling around and can’t really figure out where she is. And the wife is asking the reaper to lead him to the other side so they can meet again."
This song also features Sarah Blackwood, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. She's best known for her involvement with indie folk-pop band Walk Off the Earth, as well as her previous psychobilly group, The Creepshow.
