[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 sea**** |
[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. |
