Suzanne  takes you down to her place near the river 
F#m
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 want to be there 
G#m A
And she  feeds  you tea and oranges that come  all  the way from China 
E  F#m
And just when you mean to tell her that you  have  no love to give her 
E
Then she  gets  you on her wavelength 
F#m E 
And she  lets  the river answer that you’ve always been her lover
chorus
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 
F#m E
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
chorus
G#m A
And you  want  to travel with him, and you  want  to travel blind 
E
And you  think  you maybe you’ll trust him 
F#m E
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 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
chorus
G#m A
And you  want  to travel with her, and you  want  to travel blind 
E
And you  know  that you can trust her 
F#m E
For she’s  touched  your perfect body with her  mind.
