Suzanne

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 she's half crazy

But it's why you want to be there

And shefeeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her

But you have no love to give her

Then she gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

You've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And know 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

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 intresting

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Now suzanne takes your hand now

And she leads you to the river

She is wearing rags and feathers

From salvation army counters

And the sun pours down like honey

On our our lady of the harbor

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 know you kan travels

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
