[00:12.38]Suzanne takes you down
[00:14.17]To her place near the river
[00:17.14]You can hear the boats go by
[00:21.28]You can spend the night beside her
[00:24.28]And you know that she’s half crazy
[00:27.98]But that’s why you wanna be there
[00:31.34]And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:35.33]That come all the way from China
[00:38.28]And just when you mean to tell her
[00:41.96]That you have no love to give her
[00:45.62]Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:48.77]And she lets the river answer
[00:52.93]That you’ve always been her lover
[00:56.96]And you want to travel with her
[01:02.08]
[01:04.80]And you want to travel blind
[01:08.58]And you know that she will trust you
[01:10.73]For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind
[01:13.86]And Jesus was a sailor
[01:18.77]
[01:24.46]When He walked upon the water
[01:28.31]And He spent a long time watching
[01:32.10]From His lonely wooden tower
[01:34.93]And when He knew for certain
[01:38.62]Only drowning men could see Him
[01:42.07]He said, “All men will be sailors then
[01:45.53]Until the sea shall free them”
[01:48.73]But He Himself was broken
[01:52.65]Long before the sky would open
[01:56.33]Forsaken, almost human
[01:59.90]He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:06.13]
[02:10.40]And you want to travel with Him
[02:14.69]And you want to travel blind
[02:17.76]And you think maybe you’ll trust Him
[02:21.16]For He’s touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:28.63]Now, Suzanne takes your hand
[02:36.04]And she leads you to the river
[02:39.45]She is wearing rags and feathers
[02:42.63]From the Salvation Army counters
[02:46.68]And the sun pours down like honey
[02:50.29]On our lady of the harbor
[02:53.70]And she shows you where to look
[02:56.64]Among the garbage and the flowers
[03:00.51]There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:04.87]There are children in the morning
[03:08.76]They are leaning out for love
[03:11.47]And they will lean that way forever
[03:15.07]While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:18.74]And you want to travel with her
[03:24.81]And you want to travel blind
[03:28.54]And you know that you can trust her
[03:32.20]For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind
[03:36.52]
