When Susannah Cries

[Chorus]
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 tɾue
'Cause although I never told her
I think she knows bout me and [Bm]you

Now she cries with silent tension
This can't be [Am]ɾight
And the downtown special cries along
'Cause I'm leaving tonight

[Chorus]

Now I slip the night around her
And I hope she'll be [Am]okay
I just pray someone will find her
And guide her along [Am]her way

'Cause I'm leaving on [C7]the 1 am
By soon [C7]I'm out of sight
But she'll always be [Am]my [A]baby
Though I'm leaving tonight

Every night I hear her
Talking in her sleep
She says «You know I'll always be [Am]there»
And I feel like [F]such a creep

Please take back the love she gave to [C7]me
And in time her grief will pass
Just tell her that I loved her
Now it's all [Em]she has
When susannah cries
