Original lyrics
ENWhen 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
And 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
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 1AM
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 a 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
