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