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 bout 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
