Every girl is a daughter
But you're not quite the same
You like fire in the water
And smoke on the rain
You've got a sweet something about you
Something hard to name
The way your hair falls on your shoulders
It's hard to explain, oh no
Oh, Susannah!
If ever the world drives you down, call my name
And I'll come around, and I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Ooh, Susannah!
I wanna walk down by the water
I wanna stand round here and grief
I wanna treat it like an alter
With you're right there with me, yeah
Oh, Susannah!
If ever the world drives you down, call my name
And I'll come around, and I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Ooh, Susanna
I've been travelling and I've been taking stock
So when I get home, there is no need to talk
'Cause I've been where you said
Oh, nothing is the same
And even though we parted ways
Oh, Susannah!
If ever the world drives you down, call my name
And I'll come around, and I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah!
