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 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 Coro
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 out of my sight
but she'll always be my baby though I'm leaving tonight
Solo
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 wow oh oh uh uh uh when susannah cries
