Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by----
You can spend the night forever-
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That came all the way from China
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And 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 maybe trust her
Cause she's touched your perfect body
with her mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And 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"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human-
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think you maybe trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
with his mind.
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by----
You can spend the night forever-
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Amid 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
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe trust her
For you've touched her perfect body
with her mind.
