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 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 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
 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 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 the Salvation Army counters
 And the sun pours down like honey
 On our lady of the harbor
 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 know that you can trust her
 For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
