[00:11.79] |
suzanne takes you down to her place near the river |
[00:18.91] |
you can hear the boats go by |
[00:22.12] |
you can spend the night beside her |
[00:25.99] |
and you know that she's half crazy |
[00:29.47] |
but that's why you want to be there |
[00:32.99] |
and she feeds you tea and oranges |
[00:36.38] |
that come all the way from china |
[00:39.71] |
and just when you mean to tell her |
[00:43.84] |
that you have no love to give her |
[00:47.27] |
then she gets you on her wavelength |
[00:50.86] |
and she lets the river answer |
[00:54.20] |
that you've always been her lover |
[00:57.72] |
|
[01:00.53] |
and you want to travel with her |
[01:04.31] |
and you want to travel blind |
[01:07.64] |
and you know that she will trust you |
[01:11.29] |
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind |
[01:16.58] |
|
[01:22.29] |
and jesus was a sailor |
[01:25.78] |
when he walked upon the water |
[01:29.31] |
and he spent a long time watching |
[01:32.49] |
from his lonely wooden tower |
[01:36.26] |
and when he knew for certain |
[01:39.73] |
only drowning men could see him |
[01:43.19] |
he said all men will be sailors then |
[01:47.02] |
until the sea shall free them |
[01:50.43] |
but he himself was broken |
[01:53.83] |
long before the sky would open |
[01:57.11] |
forsaken almost human |
[02:00.79] |
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone |
[02:05.62] |
|
[02:11.10] |
and you want to travel with him |
[02:14.92] |
and you want to travel blind |
[02:17.93] |
and you think maybe you'll trust him |
[02:21.93] |
for he's touched your perfect body with his mind |
[02:26.99] |
|
[02:32.69] |
now suzanne takes your hand |
[02:36.38] |
and she leads you to the river |
[02:40.24] |
she is wearing rags and feathers |
[02:43.55] |
from salvation army counters |
[02:47.39] |
and the sun pours down like honey |
[02:50.85] |
on our lady of the harbour |
[02:54.73] |
and she shows you where to look |
[02:57.63] |
among the garbage and the flowers |
[03:01.30] |
there are heroes in the seaweed |
[03:05.43] |
there are children in the morning |
[03:08.57] |
they are leaning out for love |
[03:12.43] |
and they will lean that way forever |
[03:15.42] |
while suzanne holds the mirror |
[03:18.98] |
|
[03:22.10] |
and you want to travel with her |
[03:25.87] |
and you want to travel blind |
[03:29.09] |
and you know that you can trust her |
[03:33.08] |
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind |
