E
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river.
F#m
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her,
E
And you know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there,
G#m A
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China,
E
and just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
F#m
She gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
E
That you've always been her lover.
G#m A
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind,
E
and you know that she will trust you,
F#m E Esus4
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind
E
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,
F#m
And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower,
E
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
G#m A
he said "All men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them."
E
But he himself was broken long before the sky would open.
F#m E
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
G#m A
And you want to travel with him and you want to travel blind
E
and you think maybe you'll trust him,
F#m E Esus4
for he's touched your perfect body with his mind .
E
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river.
F#m
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,
E
And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady Of The Harbour,
G#m A
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.
E
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning.
F#m
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
E
While Suzanne holds the mirror
G#m A
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
E
and you that you can trust her,
F#m E Esus4
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
