suzanne takes you down to her place near the river[00:00:11]
you can hear the boats go by[00:00:18]
you can spend the night beside her[00:00:21]
and you know that she's half crazy[00:00:25]
but that's why you want to be there[00:00:28]
and she feeds you tea and oranges[00:00:32]
that come all the way from china[00:00:35]
and just when you mean to tell her[00:00:38]
that you have no love to give her[00:00:43]
then she gets you on her wavelength[00:00:46]
and she lets the river answer[00:00:50]
that you've always been her lover[00:00:53]
and you want to travel with her[00:00:59]
and you want to travel blind[00:01:03]
and you know that she will trust you[00:01:07]
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind.[00:01:10]
and jesus was a sailor[00:01:21]
when he walked upon the water[00:01:25]
and he spent a long time watching[00:01:28]
from his lonely wooden tower[00:01:31]
and when he knew for certain[00:01:35]
only drowning men could see him[00:01:38]
he said "all men will be sailors then[00:01:42]
until the sea shall free them"[00:01:46]
but he himself was broken[00:01:50]
long before the sky would open[00:01:53]
forsaken, almost human[00:01:56]
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone[00:02:00]
and you want to travel with him[00:02:10]
and you want to travel blind[00:02:14]
and you think maybe you'll trust him[00:02:17]
for he's touched your perfect body with his mind.[00:02:21]
now suzanne takes your hand[00:02:32]
and she leads you to the river[00:02:35]
she is wearing rags and feathers[00:02:39]
from salvation army counters[00:02:43]
and the sun pours down like honey[00:02:47]
on our lady of the harbour[00:02:51]
and she shows you where to look[00:02:54]
among the garbage and the flowers[00:02:57]
there are heroes in the seaweed[00:03:01]
there are children in the morning[00:03:05]
they are leaning out for love[00:03:08]
and they will lean that way forever[00:03:12]
while suzanne holds the mirror[00:03:15]
and you want to travel with her[00:03:21]
and you want to travel blind[00:03:25]
and you know that you can trust her[00:03:29]
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind.[00:03:32]
