Suzanne takes you down   To her place by the river   You can hear the boats go by   You can spend the night forever   And you know the girl's half crazy   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 want to tell her   That you have no love to give her   She gets you on her wavelength   And lets the river answer   That you've always been her lover      And Jesus was a sailor   When he walked upon the water   And he spent a long time watchin'   From a lonely wooden tower   And when he knew for certain   Only drownin' men could see him   He said all men are 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 wanna travel with him   Ahh, you wanna travel blind   And you think that you might trust him   For he's touched your perfect body with his mind      Suzanne takes you down   To her place by the river   And you can hear the boats that go by   You can spend the night forever   And the sun pours down like honey   On our lady of the harbor   And she shows you where to look   Amid the garbage and the flowers      There are heroes in the seaweed   There are children in the morning   They are leanin' out for love   And they will lean that way forever   While Suzanne holds her mirror
