When Sussanah Cries

When Sussanah 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 'bout me and you
Now she cries a silent tension
This can't be right
And the downtown special cries along
'Cause I'm leaving tonight

When Sussanah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cried for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too

Now I sit the nite around her
And I hope she'll be OK
I just pray someone will find her
And guide her on her way
'Cause I'm leaving on the one
Am and by soon I'm out of sigh
But she'll always be my baby
Though I'm leaving tonite

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 the grief may pass
Just tell her that I love her
Now it's all she has

When Sussanah cries
