Chorus:
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 I never told her
I think she knews 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
Chorus
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
'cos I'm leaving on the 1 am
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 kmow I 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
Oohoh when suzanna cries
