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
cause although I 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
cause I'm lea-a-a-ving 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 along her way
Cause I'm leaving on the 1 a.m.
and by soon I'm out of sight
But she'll always be my baby
though I'm lea-a-aving tonight
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
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 will pass
Just tell her that I loved her
now it's all
she has
Whoa-oh-ooh
When Susannah cries
