When Susanna Cries Songtext / Lyric

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 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






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
