Chorus:
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

Chorus

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
when Susannah cries
