Suzanne takes you down to her 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   Just when you mean to tell her   That you have, that you have no love to give her      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   'Cause you've been, maybe you can trust her   She's touched your perfect body with her mind      Jesus was a sailor   When he walked across the water   And he spent a long time watching   From his lonely wooden tower      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   'Cause you think, maybe you can trust him   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 Salvation Army counters      And the sun pours down like honey   On our lady of the harbor   And she shows you where to look beneath the flowers   Beneath the flowers and the garbage      There are heroes in the seaweed   There are children in the mornin', they are leanin' 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   'Cause you think, maybe you can can trust her   She's touched your perfect body with her mind
