Suzanne

[00:14.74] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:25.21] You can hear the boats go by
[00:29.27] You can spend the night beside her
[00:33.71] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:37.63] But that's why you want to be there
[00:41.04] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:46.14] That come all the way from China
[00:50.41] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:54.75] That you have no love to give her
[00:58.88] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[01:02.93] And she lets the river answer
[01:07.37] That you've always been her lover
[01:12.85]
[01:15.75] And you want to travel with her
[01:20.10] And you want to travel blind
[01:24.22] And you know that she will trust you
[01:28.36] For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
[01:36.77] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:44.95] When he walked upon the water
[01:49.46] And he spent a long time watching
[01:53.20] From his lonely wooden tower
[01:58.17] And when he knew for certain
[02:02.03] Only drowning men could see him
[02:05.90] He said "All men will be sailors then
[02:10.98] Until the sea shall free them"
[02:14.95] But he himself was broken
[02:18.82] Long before the sky would open
[02:21.91] Forsaken, almost human
[02:27.55] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:35.41] And you want to travel with him
[02:43.77] And you want to travel blind
[02:48.01] And you think maybe you'll trust him
[02:52.66] For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
[03:00.03]
[03:02.68] Now Suzanne takes your hand
[03:09.09] And she leads you to the river
[03:13.57] She is wearing rags and feathers
[03:17.40] From Salvation Army counters
[03:21.93] And the sun pours down like honey
[03:25.81] On our lady of the harbour
[03:30.31] And she shows you where to look
[03:33.78] Among the garbage and the flowers
[03:38.50] There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:42.75] There are children in the morning
[03:46.85] They are leaning out for love
[03:51.05] And they will lean that way forever
[03:55.35] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[04:01.28] And you want to travel with her
[04:07.82] And you want to travel blind
[04:12.12] And you know that you can trust her
[04:16.33] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
