Suzanne takes you down   To her place near the river   You can see the boats go by   And you can spend the night forever      And you know 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 mean to tell her   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 Jesus was a sailor   When He walked upon the water   And He spent a long time watching   From a lonely wooden tower      Yes, and when He knew for certain   Only drowning men could see Him   He said, all men will be sailors then   Until the seas free them      But He, Himself was broken   Long before the sky would open   Forsaken and 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   'Cause He's touched your perfect body with His mind      Suzanne takes your hand   And she leads you besides the water   She is wearing rags, feathers   From Salvation Army counters      And the sun pours down like honey   On our lady of the harbor   She shows you where to look   Between 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      You want to travel with her   And you want to travel blind   And you think maybe you can trust her   'Cause she's touched your perfect body with her mind
