[00:00.00] Suzanne
[00:01.14]
[00:02.00] Leonard Cohen
[00:03.00]
[00:11.09] Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:18.42] You can hear the boats go by
[00:21.55] You can spend the night beside her
[00:25.47] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:28.86] But that's why you want to be there
[00:32.41] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:35.90] That come all the way from China
[00:38.91] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:43.03] That you have no love to give her
[00:46.30] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:50.41] And she lets the river answer
[00:53.43] That you've always been her lover
[00:59.92] And you want to travel with her
[01:03.48] And you want to travel blind
[01:07.04] And you know that she will trust you
[01:10.58] For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
[01:21.57] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:25.37] When he walked upon the water
[01:28.70] And he spent a long time watching
[01:31.76] From his lonely wooden tower
[01:35.02] And when he knew for certain
[01:38.96] Only drowning men could see him
[01:42.40] He said "All men will be sailors then
[01:46.13] Until the sea shall free them"
[01:50.02] But he himself was broken
[01:53.18] Long before the sky would open
[01:56.60] Forsaken, almost human
[02:00.25] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:10.62] And you want to travel with him
[02:14.41] And you want to travel blind
[02:17.60] And you think maybe you'll trust him
[02:21.42] For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
[02:32.12] Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:35.99] And she leads you to the river
[02:39.93] She is wearing rags and feathers
[02:43.91] From Salvation Army counters
[02:47.75] And the sun pours down like honey
[02:51.19] On our lady of the harbour
[02:54.31] And she shows you where to look
[02:57.28] Among the garbage and the flowers
[03:01.19] There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:05.24] There are children in the morning
[03:08.73] They are leaning out for love
[03:12.22] And they will lean that way forever
[03:15.57] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:21.88] And you want to travel with her
[03:25.84] And you want to travel blind
[03:29.16] And you know that you can trust her
[03:32.99] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
