G

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river,

Am

You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night together,

G

And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there,

Bm

And she feeds you tea and oranges that come

C

all the way from China.

G

And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,

Am

She gets you on he wavelength and she lets the river answer

G

That you've always been her lover.

Bm C

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

G

And you know that you can trust her,

Am G

For sheu2019s touched you perfect body with your mind.

G

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,

Am

And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.

G

And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,

Bm C

He said, "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them."

G

But he himself was broken long before the sky would open,

Am G

Forsaken almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

Bm C

And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind,

G

And you think maybe you'll trust him,

Am G

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

G

Now Suzanne take your hand and she leads you to the river,

Am

She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.

G

And the sun pours down like honey on your lady of the harbor,

Bm C

And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.

G

There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning

Am

They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,

G

While Suzanne holds the mirror.

Bm C

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

G

And you think maybe you'll trust her,

Am G

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
