[00:10.520] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:16.300] You can hear the boats go by
[00:19.790] You can spend the night beside her
[00:23.120] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:26.920] But that's why you want to be there
[00:30.170] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:33.970] That come all the way from China
[00:36.910] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:41.150] That you have no love to give her
[00:44.580] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:48.550] That you've always been her lover
[00:51.990] And you want to travel with her
[01:01.980] And you want to travel blind
[01:05.600] And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[01:13.530] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:22.330] When he walked upon the water
[01:26.200] And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
[01:32.810] And when he knew for certain
[01:36.870] Only drowning men could see him
[01:40.750] He said 'All men will be sailors then
[01:44.700] Until the sea shall free them
[01:47.930] But he himself was broken
[01:50.800] Long before the sky would open
[01:54.420] Forsaken, almost human. He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:03.0] And you want to travel with him
[02:12.100] And you want to travel blind. And you know
[02:15.400] that you can trust her. For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[02:24.710] Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:33.120] And she leads you to the river
[02:37.440] She is wearing rags and feathers. From Salvation Army counters
[02:45.380] And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour
[02:51.620] And she shows you where to look
[02:55.600] Among the garbage and the flowers. There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:02.430] There are children in the morning
[03:05.550] They are leaning out for love. And they will lean that way forever
[03:12.280] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:16.900] And you want to travel with her
[03:23.790] And you want to travel blind
[03:26.260] And you know that you can trust her. For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
