Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her
And you know she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to giveher
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind
And you know she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body

With your mind

Now Jesus was a sailor

When he walked opon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain
Only drownding men could see him
He said

"All men shall be sailors then
Until the sea shall freethem"
But he himself was broken

Long before the skys would open
Foresaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom

Like a stone

And you want to travel with him

And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body

With his mind

Now Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey
On our Lady of the Harbor
And she shows you where to look

Among the garbage and theflowers
There are heros in the seaweed
There are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love
They will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror


And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind

And you know you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body
With her mind
