Suzanne lyrics
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can stay the night beside her
And you know 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
Just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wave length
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 she will trust you
'Cause 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
Searching from His lonely wooden tower
And just 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 may be you'll trust Him
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind
Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's weaving rags and feathers
From 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
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
