suzanne takes you down to her place near the river |
| [00:18.91] |
you can hear the boats go by |
| [00:22.12] |
you can spend the night beside her |
| [00:25.99] |
and you know that she's half crazy |
| [00:29.47] |
but that's why you want to be there |
| [00:32.99] |
and she feeds you tea and oranges |
| [00:36.38] |
that come all the way from china |
| [00:39.71] |
and just when you mean to tell her |
| [00:43.84] |
that you have no love to give her |
| [00:47.27] |
then she gets you on her wavelength |
| [00:50.86] |
and she lets the river answer |
| [00:54.20] |
that you've always been her lover |
| [00:57.72] |
|
| [01:00.53] |
and you want to travel with her |
| [01:04.31] |
and you want to travel blind |
| [01:07.64] |
and you know that she will trust you |
| [01:11.29] |
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind |
| [01:16.58] |
|
| [01:22.29] |
and jesus was a sailor |
| [01:25.78] |
when he walked upon the water |
| [01:29.31] |
and he spent a long time watching |
| [01:32.49] |
from his lonely wooden tower |
| [01:36.26] |
and when he knew for certain |
| [01:39.73] |
only drowning men could see him |
| [01:43.19] |
he said all men will be sailors then |
| [01:47.02] |
until the sea shall free them |
| [01:50.43] |
but he himself was broken |
| [01:53.83] |
long before the sky would open |
| [01:57.11] |
forsaken almost human |
| [02:00.79] |
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone |
| [02:05.62] |
|
| [02:11.10] |
and you want to travel with him |
| [02:14.92] |
and you want to travel blind |
| [02:17.93] |
and you think maybe you'll trust him |
| [02:21.93] |
for he's touched your perfect body with his mind |
| [02:26.99] |
|
| [02:32.69] |
now suzanne takes your hand |
| [02:36.38] |
and she leads you to the river |
| [02:40.24] |
she is wearing rags and feathers |
| [02:43.55] |
from salvation army counters |
| [02:47.39] |
and the sun pours down like honey |
| [02:50.85] |
on our lady of the harbour |
| [02:54.73] |
and she shows you where to look |
| [02:57.63] |
among the garbage and the flowers |
| [03:01.30] |
there are heroes in the seaweed |
| [03:05.43] |
there are children in the morning |
| [03:08.57] |
they are leaning out for love |
| [03:12.43] |
and they will lean that way forever |
| [03:15.42] |
while suzanne holds the mirror |
| [03:18.98] |
|
| [03:22.10] |
and you want to travel with her |
| [03:25.87] |
and you want to travel blind |
| [03:29.09] |
and you know that you can trust her |
| [03:33.08] |
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind |
