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 about 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 ŤYou know I'll always be thereť
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......
