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 got a sweet something about ya
Something hard to name
The way your hairs 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 a running
I'll sit down beside you
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah
I wanna walk down by the water
I wanna stand right there and breathe
I wanna treat it like an alter
With you right there with me, yeah
Oh, Susannah
If ever the world drags you down
Call my name
I'll come a running
And I'll sit down beside you
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah
I've been travelling
I been takeing stock
So when I get home
There's no need to talk
'Cause I've been stumbling
Trying to find my way
Oh, Susannah
How'd you come my way-a-ay
Oh, Susannah
If ever the world drags you down
Call my name
And I'll come a running
I'll sit down beside you
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Oh, Susannah
