It brings a tear into my eyes
When I began, Lord, to realize.
If you don't think that, honey, you'll be home soon,
You know I'll drown, drown, oh Lord, in my own tears.

I know it's true into his mind
A little rain is bound to fall
But since you've been gone honey I'm so blue,
It just keeps rainin', keeps right on rainin' more and more.

I cried just like a child,
My poor tears, Lord, they were runnin' wild.
If you don't think that baby you'll be home soon now
You know I'll drown, drown, oh Lord, in my own tears.
