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