[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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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

'Cause 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
