[al:Some of My Best Friends Are Songs] |
| [03.49.53] |
She is wearing rags and feathers |
| [04.05.31] |
Then she gets you on her wavelength |
| [04.11.74] |
takes you down takes you down takes you down |
| [00:22.44] |
Suzanne takes you down |
| [00:25.30] |
To her place near the river |
| [00:28.16] |
You can hear the boats go by |
| [00:31.01] |
You can spend the night beside her |
| [00:33.97] |
And you know that she's half crazy |
| [00:36.85] |
That's why you want to be there |
| [00:39.30] |
And she feeds you tea and oranges |
| [00:42.16] |
That come all the way from China |
| [00:45.09] |
And just when you mean to tell her |
| [00:47.81] |
That you have no love to give her |
| [00:50.51] |
Then she gets you on her wavelength |
| [00:53.50] |
And she lets the river answer |
| [00:56.11] |
That you've always been her lover |
| [01:01.70] |
And you want to travel with her |
| [01:04.50] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [01:07.65] |
And you know that she will trust you |
| [01:10.36] |
For you touched her perfect body |
| [01:13.39] |
with your mind |
| [01:19.19] |
And Jesus was a sailor |
| [01:22.00] |
When he walked upon the water |
| [01:24.50] |
And he spent a long time watching |
| [01:27.40] |
From his lonely wooden tower |
| [01:30.12] |
And when he knew for certain |
| [01:33.11] |
Only drowning men could see him |
| [01:35.80] |
He said "All men will be sailors then |
| [01:38.80] |
Until the sea shall free them" |
| [01:41.80] |
But he himself was broken |
| [01:44.27] |
Long before the sky would open |
| [01:47.45] |
Forsaken, almost human |
| [01:50.29] |
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone |
| [01:58.40] |
And you want to travel with him |
| [02:01.42] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [02:04.24] |
And you think maybe you'll trust him |
| [02:07.13] |
For he's touched your perfect body |
| [02:09.86] |
with his mind. |
| [02:32.25] |
Now Suzanne takes your hand |
| [02:35.27] |
And she leads you to the river |
| [02:38.13] |
She is wearing rags and feathers |
| [02:41.00] |
From Salvation Army counters |
| [02:43.66] |
And the sun pours down like honey |
| [02:46.45] |
On our lady of the harbour |
| [02:49.21] |
And she shows you where to look |
| [02:51.71] |
Among the garbage and the flowers |
| [02:55.02] |
There are heroes in the seaweed |
| [02:58.00] |
There are children in the morning |
| [03:00.64] |
They are leaning out for love |
| [03:03.38] |
And they will lean that way forever |
| [03:06.29] |
While Suzanne holds the mirror |
| [03:11.84] |
And you want to travel with her |
| [03:14.89] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [03:17.37] |
And you know that you can trust her |
| [03:20.53] |
For she's touched your perfect body |
| [03:23.55] |
with her mind |
