When Susannah Cries

Lyrics

[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 [Verse 1] 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 about 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] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 Oh, ooh When Susannah cries
