Suzanne

[Verse 1]

Suzanne takes you down

To a place near the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her

You know that she's half-crazy

But that's why you wanna 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

That's when she gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

That you've always been hеr love

[Verse 2]

And Jesus was a sailor

When hе walked upon the water

And he 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 shall be sailors then

Until the sea shall free them"

But then he himself was broken

Long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human

Sank beneath your wisdom like he was a stone

[Chorus]

And you want to travel with him

Yeah, you wanna travel blind

You when you answer

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

And Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you 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 harbor

And she shows you where to look

Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed

There are children in the morning

They're leaning out for love

And they want
