When Susannah Cries (Live)

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 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

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 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

Oh, ooh

When Susannah cries
