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