G
Suzanne takes you down the her place near the river,
Am
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her,
G
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there,
Bm C
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China.
G
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
Am
She gets you on he wavelength and she lets the river answer
G
That you've always been her lover.
Bm C
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,
G
And you know that you can trust her,
Am G
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
G
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,
Am
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.
G
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
|
Bm C
He said, "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them."
G
But he himself was broken long before the sky would open,
Am G
Forsaken almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
Bm C
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind,
G
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
Am G
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
G
Now Suzanne take your hand and she leads you to the river,
Am
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.
G
And the sun pours down like honey on your lady of the harbor,
Bm C
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.
G
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
Am
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,
G
While Suzanne hold the mirror.
Bm C
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,
G
And you think maybe you'll trust her,
