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

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
