Drown in My Own Tears
Drowning in Heartache: Shirley Horn's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
It brings a tear into my eyes
Feeling emotional distress, causing tears
When I begin to realize
Starting to understand or become aware
I've cried so much since you've been gone
Expressing a lot of sorrow since the person departed
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Anticipating being overwhelmed by personal sorrow
I've been crying just like a child
Crying intensely, reminiscent of a child
My pouring tears are running wild
Tears are flowing uncontrollably
If you don't think you'll be home soon
Uncertainty about the return of a loved one
I guess I'll drown, oh yeah, in my own tears
Expecting to be consumed by one's own tears if the loved one doesn't return
I know it's true
Acknowledging a painful truth
Into each life
Recognizing life's inevitability of hardships
Oh, some rain, rain must pour
Metaphorically comparing life difficulties to rain
I'm so blue
Feeling melancholic and downhearted
Here without you
Experiencing emptiness due to the absence of a loved one
It keeps raining more and more
Emphasizing the continuous increase of emotional pain
Why don't you come home so I won't be all alone
Desiring the return of the absent person to alleviate loneliness
If you don't think you'll be home soon
Reiterating uncertainty about the loved one's return
I Guess I'll (drown in my own tears
Anticipating being overwhelmed by personal sorrow (repeated line)
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
Pleading not to succumb to overwhelming sorrow
When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears)
Expressing distress and dependency on a loved one
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
Reiterating the plea not to be consumed by sorrow
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Anticipating being overwhelmed by personal sorrow (repeated line)
