Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river |
| [01:00.82] |
You can hear the boats go by |
| [01:04.38] |
You can spend the night beside her |
| [01:08.76] |
And you know that she's half crazy |
| [01:12.51] |
But that's why you want to be there |
| [01:16.39] |
And she feeds you tea and oranges |
| [01:19.88] |
That come all the way from China |
| [01:24.01] |
And just when you mean to tell her |
| [01:28.50] |
That you have no love to give her |
| [01:32.51] |
Then she gets you on her wavelength |
| [01:36.32] |
And she lets the river answer |
| [01:39.88] |
That you've always been her lover |
| [01:44.69] |
|
| [01:47.99] |
And you want to travel with her |
| [01:52.75] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [01:56.82] |
And you know that she will trust you |
| [02:00.87] |
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind. |
| [02:09.81] |
|
| [02:13.63] |
And Jesus was a sailor |
| [02:17.50] |
When he walked upon the water |
| [02:21.44] |
And he spent a long time watching |
| [02:25.25] |
From his lonely wooden tower |
| [02:29.75] |
And when he knew for certain |
| [02:33.37] |
Only drowning men could see him |
| [02:37.32] |
He said "All men will be sailors then |
| [02:41.62] |
Until the sea shall free them" |
| [02:45.93] |
But he himself was broken |
| [02:49.68] |
Long before the sky would open |
| [02:54.00] |
Forsaken, almost human |
| [02:58.06] |
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone |
| [03:07.56] |
|
| [03:09.99] |
And you want to travel with him |
| [03:14.13] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [03:18.50] |
And you think maybe you'll trust him |
| [03:22.68] |
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind. |
| [03:31.43] |
|
| [03:35.74] |
Now Suzanne takes your hand |
| [03:39.84] |
And she leads you to the river |
| [03:43.72] |
She is wearing rags and feathers |
| [03:47.17] |
From Salvation Army counters |
| [03:51.79] |
And the sun pours down like honey |
| [03:55.53] |
On our lady of the harbour |
| [03:59.97] |
And she shows you where to look |
| [04:03.66] |
Among the garbage and the flowers |
| [04:07.90] |
There are heroes in the seaweed |
| [04:12.60] |
There are children in the morning |
| [04:17.03] |
They are leaning out for love |
| [04:20.84] |
And they will lean that way forever |
| [04:24.60] |
While Suzanne holds the mirror |
| [04:30.34] |
|
| [04:33.59] |
And you want to travel with her |
| [04:38.03] |
And you want to travel blind |
| [04:41.87] |
And you know that you can trust her |
| [04:46.56] |
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind. |
| [04:58.05] |
