[length: 04:20]
[00:09.27]Suzanne takes you down
[00:12.62]To her place by the river
[00:17.44]You can hear the boats go by
[00:20.84]You can spend the night forever
[00:25.03]And you know that she’s half crazy
[00:29.09]And that’s why you want to be there
[00:32.29]And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:37.39]That come all the way from China
[00:41.96]And just when you mean to tell her
[00:45.46]That you have no love to give her
[00:49.53]She gets you on her wavelength
[00:52.64]And she lets the river answer
[00:56.14]That you’ve always been her lover
[01:01.62]
[01:04.92]And you want to travel with her
[01:09.37]And you want to travel blind
[01:14.68]And you know that she will trust you
[01:18.21]O you touched the perfect body with your mind
[01:24.14]
[01:29.64]Now Jesus was a sailor
[01:33.70]When he walked upon the water
[01:38.17]And he spent a long time watching
[01:42.46]From his lonely wooden tower
[01:46.07]And when he knew for certain
[01:51.37]Only drowning men could see him
[01:54.83]He said all men will be sailors then
[01:59.40]Until the sea shall free them
[02:03.43]But he himself was broken
[02:07.30]Long before the sky would open
[02:11.12]Forsaken almost human
[02:15.53]He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:21.88]
[02:26.54]And you want to travel with him
[02:30.54]And you want to travel blind
[02:34.61]’Cause you think maybe you can trust him
[02:38.86]’Cause he’s touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:45.36]
[02:50.78]Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:54.96]And she leads you to the river
[02:59.09]She is wearing rags and feathers
[03:03.17]From Salvation Army counters
[03:06.55]And the sun pours down like honey
[03:10.88]On our lady of the harbor
[03:14.34]And she shows you where to look
[03:18.62]Between the garbage and the flowers
[03:23.02]There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:27.38]There are children in the mornin’
[03:30.47]They are leanin’ out for love
[03:34.84]They will lean that way forever
[03:39.06]While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:43.79]
[03:47.45]And you want to travel with her
[03:51.54]And you want to travel blind
[03:55.60]’Cause you think maybe you can can trust her
[03:59.76]She’s touched your perfect body with her mind
