[03.49.53]She is wearing rags and feathers
[04.05.31]Then she gets you on her wavelength
[04.11.74]takes you down takes you down takes you down
[00:22.44]Suzanne takes you down
[00:25.30]To her place near the river
[00:28.16]You can hear the boats go by
[00:31.01]You can spend the night beside her
[00:33.97]And you know that she's half crazy
[00:36.85]That's why you want to be there
[00:39.30]And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:42.16]That come all the way from China
[00:45.09]And just when you mean to tell her
[00:47.81]That you have no love to give her
[00:50.51]Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:53.50]And she lets the river answer
[00:56.11]That you've always been her lover
[01:01.70]And you want to travel with her
[01:04.50]And you want to travel blind
[01:07.65]And you know that she will trust you
[01:10.36]For you touched her perfect body
[01:13.39]with your mind
[01:19.19]And Jesus was a sailor
[01:22.00]When he walked upon the water
[01:24.50]And he spent a long time watching
[01:27.40]From his lonely wooden tower
[01:30.12]And when he knew for certain
[01:33.11]Only drowning men could see him
[01:35.80]He said "All men will be sailors then
[01:38.80]Until the sea shall free them"
[01:41.80]But he himself was broken
[01:44.27]Long before the sky would open
[01:47.45]Forsaken, almost human
[01:50.29]He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[01:58.40]And you want to travel with him
[02:01.42]And you want to travel blind
[02:04.24]And you think maybe you'll trust him
[02:07.13]For he's touched your perfect body
[02:09.86]with his mind.
[02:32.25]Now Suzanne takes your hand
[02:35.27]And she leads you to the river
[02:38.13]She is wearing rags and feathers
[02:41.00]From Salvation Army counters
[02:43.66]And the sun pours down like honey
[02:46.45]On our lady of the harbour
[02:49.21]And she shows you where to look
[02:51.71]Among the garbage and the flowers
[02:55.02]There are heroes in the seaweed
[02:58.00]There are children in the morning
[03:00.64]They are leaning out for love
[03:03.38]And they will lean that way forever
[03:06.29]While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:11.84]And you want to travel with her
[03:14.89]And you want to travel blind
[03:17.37]And you know that you can trust her
[03:20.53]For she's touched your perfect body
[03:23.55]with her mind
