When Susannah Cries

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 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 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 a.m. By soon I'm out of sight But she'll always be my baby Though, I'm leaving tonight Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah 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 Woah-oh, ooh-ooh When Susannah cries
