Suzanne

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 but 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 want to tell her that you have no love to give her
 She gets you on her wavelength and she 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 she'll really trust you for you've touched her perfect body with your 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
 And 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'll 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 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.
 And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
 And you think you'll maybe trust her for she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
