Drown In My Ovn Tears
Horn Shirley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realize
I've cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I've been crying just like a child
My pouring tears are running wild
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown, oh yeah, in my own tears

I know it's true
Into each life
Oh, some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining more and more

Why don't you come home so I won't be all alone
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I Guess I'll (drown in my own tears
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears)




Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
