Suzanne

[Verse 1]

Suzanne takes you down

To her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she's half-crazy

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

She gets you on her wavelength

She lets the river answer

That you've always been hеr lover

[Chorus]

And you want to travel with her

You want to travеl blind

'Cause you think maybe she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

[Verse 2]

Well Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

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 he himself was broken

Long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

[Chorus]

And you want to travel with him

You want to travel blind

You think maybe you'll trust him

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

[Verse 3]

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 are leaning out for love

And they will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror

[Chorus]

And you want to travel with her

You want to travel blind

You think maybe you'll trust her

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

With her mind

With her mind

Hmm
