[00:11.420] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:17.200] You can hear the boats go by
[00:20.690] You can spend the night beside her
[00:24.020] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:27.820] But that's why you want to be there
[00:31.070] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:34.870] That come all the way from China
[00:37.810] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:42.050] That you have no love to give her
[00:45.480] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:49.450] That you've always been her lover
[00:52.890] And you want to travel with her
[01:02.880] And you want to travel blind
[01:06.500] And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
[01:14.430] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:23.230] When he walked upon the water
[01:27.100] And he spent a long time watchingFrom his lonely wooden tower
[01:33.710] And when he knew for certain
[01:37.770] Only drowning men could see him
[01:41.650] He said 'All men will be sailors then
[01:45.600] Until the sea shall free them'
[01:48.830] But he himself was broken
[01:51.700] Long before the sky would open
[01:55.320] Forsaken, almost human .He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:03.900] And you want to travel with him
[02:13.000] And you want to travel blind.And you know
[02:16.300] that you can trust her.For she's touched your perfect body with his mind.
[02:25.610] Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:34.020] And she leads you to the river
[02:38.340] She is wearing rags and feathers.From Salvation Army counters
[02:46.280] And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour
[02:52.520] And she shows you where to look
[02:56.500] Among the garbage and the flowers.There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:03.330] There are children in the morning
[03:06.450] They are leaning out for love.And they will lean that way forever
[03:13.180] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:17.800] And you want to travel with her
[03:24.690] And you want to travel blind
[03:27.160] And you know that you can trust her.For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
