[Verse 1]
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 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 want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she can trust you
She can trust you, she can trust you
'Cause she's touched your perfect body with her mind

[Verse 2]
And Jesus was a sailor
And he walked upon the water
And he stood a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And when he was for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, "All men shall be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky could open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Verse 3]
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 harbor
And she shows you where to look
Amongst 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

[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you're sure that she can find you (She can find you)
'Cause you've touched her perfect body with your mind
