"Susanna" lyrics - LORI MCKENNA

Susanna, what's he gonna do without you?
When you know he's not meant for this world alone.
Susanna, who's he gonna sing to now that you're gone?

'Cause you never come back from a love like this
And I'll never forget the taste of your lips.
There ain't nothing down here for the left behind,
But I bet too big and too much time.

Susanna, when you whisper when he's dreaming
In the white dress with a flower in your ear.
And tell him don't be in such a hurry
Not to rush, you'll wait for him there.

'Cause you never come back from a love like this
And I'll never forget the taste of your lips.
There ain't nothing down here for the left behind,
But I bet too big and too much time.

Why don't you paint him a brand new sky
With all the colors of your perfect eyes?
So he can feel you a little more tonight,
A little more tonight.

'Cause you never come back from a love like this
And I'll never forget the taste of your lips.
There ain't nothing down here for the left behind,
But I bet too big and too much time.

Susanna, what's he gonna do without you?
