suzanne takes you down[00:00:22]
to her place near the river[00:00:25]
you can hear the boats go by[00:00:28]
you can spend the night beside her[00:00:31]
and you know that she's half crazy[00:00:33]
that's why you want to be there[00:00:36]
and she feeds you tea and oranges[00:00:39]
that come all the way from china[00:00:42]
and just when you mean to tell her[00:00:45]
that you have no love to give her[00:00:47]
then she gets you on her wavelength[00:00:50]
and she lets the river answer[00:00:53]
that you've always been her lover[00:00:56]
and you want to travel with her[00:01:01]
and you want to travel blind[00:01:04]
and you know that she will trust you[00:01:07]
for you touched her perfect body[00:01:10]
with your mind[00:01:13]
and jesus was a sailor[00:01:19]
when he walked upon the water[00:01:22]
and he spent a long time watching[00:01:24]
from his lonely wooden tower[00:01:27]
and when he knew for certain[00:01:30]
only drowning men could see him[00:01:33]
he said "all men will be sailors then[00:01:35]
until the sea shall free them"[00:01:38]
but he himself was broken[00:01:41]
long before the sky would open[00:01:44]
forsaken, almost human[00:01:47]
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone[00:01:50]
and you want to travel with him[00:01:58]
and you want to travel blind[00:02:01]
and you think maybe you'll trust him[00:02:04]
for he's touched your perfect body[00:02:07]
with his mind.[00:02:09]
now suzanne takes your hand[00:02:32]
and she leads you to the river[00:02:35]
she is wearing rags and feathers[00:02:38]
from salvation army counters[00:02:41]
and the sun pours down like honey[00:02:43]
on our lady of the harbour[00:02:46]
and she shows you where to look[00:02:49]
among the garbage and the flowers[00:02:51]
there are heroes in the seaweed[00:02:55]
there are children in the morning[00:02:58]
they are leaning out for love[00:03:00]
and they will lean that way forever[00:03:03]
while suzanne holds the mirror[00:03:06]
and you want to travel with her[00:03:11]
and you want to travel blind[00:03:14]
and you know that you can trust her[00:03:17]
for she's touched your perfect body[00:03:20]
with her mind[00:03:23]
