Suzanne - live (1975)

Suzane takes you down

To a place by the river

You can see the boats go by

You can spend the night forever

And you know that she's half crazy

That's why you want to be there

She feeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her

You have no love to give her

She gets you on wave lengths

And she lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you think you'll maybe trust her

'Cause she's touched your

Perfect body with her mind

Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

He spent a long time watching

From a 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"

He Himself was broken

Long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom like a star

And you want to travel with Him

And you want to travel blind

And you think you'll maybe trust Him

'Cause He's touched your

Perfect body with His mind

Suzane takes your hand

And she leads you to the river

She's wearing rags and feathers

From Salvation Army counters

And the sun shines down in full

On our lady of the harbor

She shows you where to look

Amongst the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed

There are children in the morning

There are leaning out for love

And they will lean that way for ever

While Suzane holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you think you'll maybe trust her

'Cause she's touched your

Perfect body with her mind
