   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 that 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 give her
  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 that she will trust you
  For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
  And Jesus was a sailor
  When he walked upon the water
  And he spent a long time watching
  From his lonely wooden tower
  And when he knew for certain
  Only drowning men could see him
  He said "All men will be sailors then
  Until the sea shall free them"
  But he himself was broken
  Long before the sky would open
  Forsaken, 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 is wearing rags and feathers
  From Salvation Army counters
  And the sun pours down like honey
  On our lady of the harbour
  And she shows you where to look
  Among the garbage and the flowers
  There are heroes in the seaweed
  There are children in the morning
  They are leaning out for love
  And 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 that you can trust her
  For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
