[A]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
Suzanne takes you [Ab]
[Eb] down to her place near [Ab] the [Eb] river.
[Fm] You can hear the boats go by.
You can spend the night beside her.
[Eb] And you know she's [Ab] half [Eb] crazy, but that's why you want [Abm] to [Eb] be there.
[Gm] And she feeds you tea and oranges [Ab] that come all the way from China.
And [Eb] just when you mean to tell her [Ebm] that you [Fm] have no love to give her,
then [Eb] she gets you on her waver.
[Fm] And she lets the river answer that [Eb] you've always been her lover.
And [Gm] you want to travel with her, [Ab] and you want to travel blind.
And you [Eb] know she can trust you, for [Fm] you've touched her perfect body [Eb] with your mind.
[Ab] [Eb]
And Jesus [Ab] was a sailor [Eb] when he walked upon [Abm] the [Cm] water.
[Fm] He spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower.
[Eb] And when he knew for certain only drowning men could [Cm] see him,
[Gm] he said all men shall be sailors [Ab] then, till the sea shall free [Eb] them.
But he himself [Ab] was [Cm] broken [Fm] long before the sky would open.
[Eb] Forsaken, almost human, he [Fm] sank beneath your wisdom [Eb] like a stone.
And [Gm] you want to travel with him, [Ab] you want to travel blind.
And you [Eb] think [Ab] maybe [Cm] you'll trust him, [F] for he's touched your perfect body [Eb] with his [Ab] mind.
[Eb] Now Suzanne takes your hand, she leads you to the river.
[Fm] She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.
[Eb] And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor.
[Ebm] [Gm] And she shows you where [Eb] to look amid [Ab] the garbage and the flowers.
[Eb] There are heroes [Ab] in [Eb] the seaweed, [Fm] there are children in the morning.
[Eb] They are leaning out for love, and they [Fm] will lean that way forever.
[A] While Suzanne [Abm] holds the [Eb] mirror.
And [Gm] you want to travel with her, [Ab] you want to travel blind.
And [Eb] you know she [Abm] will [Eb] find you, [Fm] for she's touched your perfect body with [Eb] her mind.
