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

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 "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 may pass
Just tell her that I loved her
Now it´s all she has

When Susannah cries
