When Susannah cries


She cries a ________
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ________
She cries for love
She cries a _____ ______
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
And I say I'll never ______ 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 with silent _______
This can't be right
And the downtown special cries along
'Cause ______ ______ tonight
When Susannah cries
She cries a _______
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ________
She cries for love
She cries a _____ ______
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 _______ someone will find her
And guide her along her way
'Cause ______ ______ on the 1 am
By soon I'm out of sight
But she'll always be my baby
Though _____ _______ tonight
Every night I ______ 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 _______ will pass
Just tell her that I loved her
Now it's all she _______
When susannah cries
