Suzane takes you down   To a place by the river   You can see the boats go by   You can spend the night forever      And you know that she's half crazy   That's why you want to be there   She feeds you tea and oranges   That come all the way from China      And just when you mean to tell her   You have no love to give her   She gets you on wave lengths   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 think you'll maybe trust her   'Cause she's touched your   Perfect body with her mind      Jesus was a sailor   When he walked upon the water   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"      He Himself was broken   Long before the sky would open   Forsaken, almost human   He sank beneath your wisdom like a star      And you want to travel with Him   And you want to travel blind   And you think you'll maybe trust Him   'Cause He's touched your   Perfect body with His mind      Suzane takes your hand   And she leads you to the river   She's wearing rags and feathers   From Salvation Army counters      And the sun shines down in full   On our lady of the harbor   She shows you where to look   Amongst the garbage and the flowers      There are heroes in the seaweed   There are children in the morning   There are leaning out for love   And they will lean that way for ever   While Suzane holds the mirror      And you want to travel with her   And you want to travel blind   And you think you'll maybe trust her   'Cause she's touched your   Perfect body with her mind
