"Oh Susannah" lyrics

Every girl is a daughter
But you're not quite the same
You're like fire in the water
And smoke on the rain
You've got a sweet something about ya
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 drags you down
Call my name
And I'll come running
I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah

I wanna walk down by the water
I wanna stand round there and breathe
I wanna treat it like an altar
With you right there with me, yeah

Oh, Susannah
If ever the world drags you down
Call my name
And I'll come running
I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah

I have been travelling and I been taking stock
So when I get home there's no need to talk
'Cause I feel we've said
All that there is to say
And even though we're parting ways

Oh, Susannah
If ever the world drags you down
Call my name
And I'll come running
I'll sit down beside you
And I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah
