[00:10.57] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:17.68] You can hear the boats go by
[00:20.84] You can spend the night beside her
[00:24.64] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:28.34] But that's why you want to be there
[00:31.84] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:34.89] That come all the way from China
[00:38.65] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:42.55] That you have no love to give her
[00:45.90] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:49.66] And she lets the river answer
[00:52.91] That you've always been her lover
[00:59.38] And you want to travel with her
[01:02.98] And you want to travel blind
[01:06.08] And you know that she will trust you
[01:09.99] For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[01:20.96]
[01:20.98] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:24.28] When he walked upon the water
[01:27.98] And he spent a long time watching
[01:31.19] From his lonely wooden tower
[01:35.17] And when he knew for certain
[01:38.42] Only drowning men could see him
[01:41.89] He said "All men will be sailors then
[01:45.69] Until the sea shall free them"
[01:49.05] But he himself was broken
[01:52.40] Long before the sky would open
[01:55.90] For saken almost human
[01:59.66] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:10.01] And you want to travel with him
[02:13.51] And you want to travel blind
[02:16.62] And you think maybe you'll trust him
[02:20.62] For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:31.40]
[02:31.41] Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:34.91] And she leads you to the river
[02:39.20] She is wearing rags and feathers
[02:42.11] From Salvation Army counters
[02:46.11] And the sun pours down like honey
[02:49.36] On our lady of the harbour
[02:53.01] And she shows you where to look
[02:56.36] Among the garbage and the flowers
[02:59.93] There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:04.08] There are children in the morning
[03:07.39] They are leaning out for love
[03:10.85] And they will lean that way forever
[03:14.31] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:20.87] And you want to travel with her
[03:24.53] And you want to travel
[03:27.73] And you know that you can trust her
[03:31.84] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[03:38.00]
