Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down

To a 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 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 let's 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'll maybe trust her

For 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'll maybe trust Hm

For He's touched your perfect body with His mind

Suzanne takes you down

To a 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 sea****

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 you'll trust her

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
