When Susanna cries Lyrics

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 along her way

'cos I'm leaving on the 1 am

soon I'm out of sight

but she'll always be my baby

though 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



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



When Susannah cries
