When Susannah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cries for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
And I say I'll never hurt her
But she knows it isn't true
'Cos although never told her
I think she knows
'bout me and you
Now she cries
with silent tension
This can't be right
And the downtown special
cries along
'Cos I'm leaving tonight
When Susannah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cries for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
Now I slip the night around her
And I hope she'll be okay
I just pray
someone will find her
And guide her on her way
'Cos I'm leaving on the 1AM
And by soon I'm out of sight
But she'll always be my baby
Though I'm leaving tonight
Every night I hear her
Talking in her sleep
She says
"You know I'll always be there"
And I feel like such a creep
Please take back
the love she gave to me
And in time her grief may pass
Just tell her that I loved her
Now it's all she has
When Susannah cries
When Susannah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cries for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
And I say I'll never hurt her
But she knows it isn't true
'Cos although never told her
I think she knows
'bout me and you
Now she cries
with silent tension
This can't be right

When Susannah cries
