[00:14.40] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:20.56] You can hear the boats go by
[00:24.04] You can spend the night beside her
[00:27.53] And you know she's half crazy
[00:30.64] That's why you want to be there
[00:34.35] She feeds you tea and oranges
[00:37.41] That come all the way from China
[00:41.36] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:44.46]
[00:45.36] That you have no love to give her
[00:48.41] She gets you on her wavelength
[00:51.09] And she lets the river answer
[00:54.71] You've always been her lover
[01:00.24]
[01:02.69] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:05.68] When He walked upon the water
[01:08.10] And He spent a long time watching
[01:11.60] From His lonely wooden tower
[01:15.29]
[01:15.90] And when He knew for certain
[01:18.61] Only drowning men could see Him
[01:22.03] He said, "All men will be sailors then
[01:25.59] Until the sea shall free them"
[01:29.28]
[01:30.00] But He, Himself was broken
[01:32.08] Long before the sky would open
[01:36.10] Forsaken, almost human
[01:39.80] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[01:45.95]
[01:49.71] And you want to travel with him
[01:52.50] You want to travel blind
[01:55.79] And you know him, he will find you
[02:00.17] For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:06.26]
[02:10.64] Suzanne takes your hand
[02:12.78] And she leads you beside the water
[02:16.66] She is wearing rags, feathers
[02:20.24] From Salvation Army counters
[02:23.20]
[02:23.56] And the sun pours down like honey
[02:26.97] On our, our lady of the harbor
[02:30.70] And she shows you where to look
[02:33.25] Near the garbage and the flowers
[02:37.22]
[02:37.58] There are heroes in the seaweed
[02:40.77] There are children in the morning
[02:44.02] They are leaning out for love
[02:47.13] And they will lean that way forever
[02:50.59] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[02:56.92]
[02:58.46] And you want to travel with her
[03:01.93] You want to travel blind
[03:04.64] And you think maybe you can trust her
[03:08.58] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[03:16.01]
