[00:52.38]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.
