Yours Is My Heart Alone
Terry Snyder & The All-Stars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it rains baby over my grave I'll be warm and dry inside of your heart
When the winds of winter find my resting place
I'll still be warm and dry inside of your heart
Oh when the floods come when the fires sweep
When the ground trembles with the rumble of machinery
When my face is forgotten and my name no longer leaves the people's lips
I know my home is where your heart is
And when it rains baby over my grave I'll be warm and dry inside of your heart
