| [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. |
