Verse
E Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river A 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 wanna be there G#m A And she feeds you tea & oranges that come all the way from China E A And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her E F#m Then she gets you on her wavelength & she lets the river answer E That you've always been her lover
Verse
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, A E For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
Verse
E And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water A And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower E And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said G#m A 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them' E A But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open E F#m E Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
Chorus
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 A E For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Verse
E Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river A She is wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter 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 & the flowers E A There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning E F#m They are leaning out for love, & they will lean that way forever E While Suzanne holds the mirror
Chorus
G#m A And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind E And you know you can trust her A E For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
