Susanne is running out of here
She's got one of her crazy ideas
it's not too much to ask she said
just enough to get ahead

she says her days are narrowing
it's almost so she can't fit it
she's going to leave it all behind
go out and make it this time

Susanne thinks living is easy for some
waits for the day when her turn will come
she doesn't see her time's already run
Susanne, oh Susanne

joy is slipping right out of the hand
of day dreaming sad smiled Susanne
Susanne, oh Susanne
