Suzanne

Su - zanne takes you down to her place near the river you can
hear the boats go by you can spend the night be - side her 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 mean 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 know that she will 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 his lonely wooden tower, And
when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said
All men will be sailors then Un- -til the sea shall free them But
he himself was broken Long be- -fore the sky would open Fore-
-saken 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 know that you can trust him for he's
touched your perfect body with his mind

Now Suzanne takes your hand And she leads you to the river She is
wearing rags and feathers From Sal- -vation Army counters. 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 Su-
-zanne holds the mirror. and you want to travel with her and you
want to travel blind and you know that know that she will trust you for you've
touched her perfect body with your mind
