When Susanna 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
And 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 Susanna 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,
and she cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
No, I'll sleep 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 living on a one -a -year
But soon I'm out of sight,
but you'll always be my baby
Though I'm leaving tonight
Every night I hear her talking in your sleep
She says, you know I'll always be there
And I feel like you're such a creep
Please take back the love she gave to me
And in time the grief will pass
Just tell her that I loved her
Now it's all she has
Woah, woah, when Susanna cries
