[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes me down
To a place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know she's half-crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
She lets the river answer
That you'll always be her lover
[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[Verse 2]
Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
He'd spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the skies would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Chorus]
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[Verse 3]
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And goes down to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Amongst the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
They'll lean that way forever
While Suzanne, she holds the mirror
[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her
You've touched your perfect body with your mind
