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 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    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 Salvation Army counters    And the sun pours down like honey    On our lady of the harbour    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
