Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
Em
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
D
And you know that she’s half crazy but that’s why you wanna be there
F#m G
And she feeds you tea and oranges that came all the way from China
D Em
And just when you want to tell her that you have no love to give her
D Em
Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
D
That you’ve always been her lover
F#m G
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
D Em
And you know she will trust you for you touched her perfect body
D
With your mind
D
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
Em
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
D
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
F#m G
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
D Em
But he himself was broken long before the sky would open
D Em D
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
F#m G
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
D Em
And you think maybe you’ll tust him for he’s touched your perfect body
D
With his mind
D
Now suzanne takes your hand, she leads you to the river
Em
She’s wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
D
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
F#m G
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
D Em
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
D Em
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
D
While Suzanne holds her mirror
F#m G
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
D Em
And you know you can trust her for she’s touched your perfect body
D
With her mind
