lyrics

Susannah,
You say your happiest moments are Sunday mornings
When you don't know if your numbers have come up
And you dream about your fine imagined riches
While deep down knowing it's nothing but a bluff
Oh Susannah, don't cry for things you can't change
It's not worth it.

Susannah,
You say you don't like people doing you favours
You don't like being left in anybody's debt
Come over here and we will look after you
To expect nothing in return's a sure-fire bet
Oh Susannah, don't cry for things you can't change
Oh Susannah - It's not worth it.

The streetlight on the road outside your window
Casts a golden glow around the frame
Makes it seems like you are just a portrait…
In pride of place

Susannah,
The vintage coat that now adorns your shoulders
Once kept a wartime-widow warm against the cold
If she had known how much you'd come to love it
Maybe she wouldn't have burned that cigarette hole
Oh Susannah, don't cry for things you can't change
It's not worth it
