Pat DiNizio:
“Drown In My Own Tears” came from a riff I Came up with at the sound check for the last gig of the Especially For You tour (fifteen months on the road in a passenger van!). The riff stuck in my head. The title was taken from a Ray Charles hit from the ‘50s and the lyrics were inspired...
There's a light in the window that tells me you're home
Eyes in the rear-view mirror that I call my own
There's a time I remember when I called you mine
Memories of your kisses much sweeter than wine
Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
Maybe I can open up my heart
Then I won't drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
There's a place where we used to meet every day
And a time when we used to love every way
All that's left is the pieces of a broken heart
And a house full of emptiness since we're apart
Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
Maybe I can open up my heart
Then I won't drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
There's a light in the window that tells me you're home
Eyes in the rear-view mirror that I call my own
There's a time I remember when I called you mine
Memories of your kisses much sweeter than wine
Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
Maybe I can open up my heart
Then I won't drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears
