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
