Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you wanna 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
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she let the river answer
That you've always be her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For your 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 know for certain
Only drowning man could see him
He said all men will 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 maybe you'll trust him
For his touched your perfect body
With his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she lead you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
>From salvation 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 flower
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 know that you can trust her
For she's touch your perfect body
With her mind.
