E Suzanne takes you down to her place near the riverF#m You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside herE And you know that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be thereAsm A And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from ChinaE F#m And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give herE F#m Then she gets you on her wavelength, and she lets the river answerE That you've always been her loverAsm A And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blindE F#m And you know she will trust you for you've touched her perfect bodyE With your mindE And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the waterF#m And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden towerE And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see himAsm A He said: "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them"E F#m But he himself was broken long before the sky would openE F#m Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdomE Like a stoneAsm A And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blindE F#m And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched your perfect bodyE With his mindE Now Suzanne takes your hand, and she leads you to the riverF#m She is wearing rags and feathers from the Salvation Army counterE And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the HarbourAsm A And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowersE F#m There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morningE F#m They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way foreverE While Suzanne holds the mirrorAsm A And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blindE F#m And you know that you can trust her for she's touched your perfect bodyE With her mind
