Lyric 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 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

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 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
