When Susannah Cries

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 true
'cos although I never told her
I think she knows bout me and you
now she cries with silent tension
this can't be right
and the downtown special cries along
'cos I'm leaving tonight

Now I slip the night around her
and I hope she'll be okay
I just pray someone will find her
and guide her along her way
'cos I'm leaving on the 1 am
by soon I'm out of sight
but she'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 there»
and I feel like such a creep
please take back the love she gave to me
and in time her grief will pass
just tell her that I loved her
now it's all she has

Once in a while
When I´m sleeping
My horses are wild
And I´m weeping
Just like a child
I wake up dreaming that I´ve been loved

Nights are in blue
And castillian
Thinking of you
Senses reeling
Diving into
This illusion that I have been loved

Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life then disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then that´s lucky for you

Still lucky for me
You´re amazing
You made me see
Sparks come blazing
I was lucky to be
Made to feel like I had been loved

Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life then disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then that´s lucky for you

I didn´t think you would sacrifice
The love I made you receive
I´d pay a grand for some paradise
But I´m just too scared to believe


What if i said you had to leave me
Would you believe that it was you i was thinking of
What if i told you just to fly free
Would you believe it was so you'd be better off
What if i told you i'm ready
What if i told you i'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best i could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
'cos i would even die for you
If i told you that i've loved you from that first sight
Would you believe me for i swear i tell no lie
What if i told you that just last night
I made my mind up and i promised not to cry
What if i told you i'm ready
What if i told you i'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best i could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
'cos i would even die for you
So now my love i have to leave you
For once my words have to replace your tender love
That always paints my sky in clear blue
To try and paint this final portrait of my love
'cos baby now i am ready
'cos baby now i am prepared to let you out of my life
and when she said my eyes were beautiful
That's 'cos they were looking at you
Goodbye my love just do what you do
