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 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 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 on her way Cause I'm leaving on the winding end, 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 her sleep She says you know I'll always be free, and I feel like the sun should creep Please take back the love she gave to me, anytime her grief may pass Just tell her that I loved her, now it's all she has Oh, when Susanna cries
