[00:10.66]Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:18.29]You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her
[00:25.23]And you know that she’s half-crazy but that’s why you want to be there
[00:32.66]And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
[00:39.57]And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
[00:47.05]Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
[00:54.16]That you’ve always been her lover
[00:59.30]And you want to travel with her
[01:03.87]And you want to travel blind
[01:07.13]And you know that she will trust you
[01:10.50]For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind
[01:21.08]And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
[01:28.45]And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
[01:35.63]And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
[01:42.60]He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
[01:49.96]But he himself was broken long before the sky would open
[01:56.62]Forsaken almost human he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:08.28]And you want to travel with him
[02:14.91]And you want to travel blind
[02:17.97]And you think you maybe you’ll trust him
[02:21.78]For he’s touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:32.29]Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
[02:40.17]She’s wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
[02:47.31]And the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the Harbor
[02:54.74]And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
[03:01.51]There are heroes in the seaweed there are children in the morning
[03:08.51]They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
[03:16.19]While Suzanne holds her mirror
[03:20.00]And you want to travel with her
[03:26.16]And you want to travel blind
[03:29.56]And you know that you can trust her
[03:33.36]For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind
