[F]
[Gm] [Am] [F]
[Bb] [C] [F]
Suzanne takes you down to a place near [Bb] the [F] 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.
That's why you want to be there.
[Am] She feeds you tea and oranges.
[Bb] Come all the way from China.
[F] Just when you [Bb] need [F] her.
You [Gm] have no love to give her.
[F] She gets you on [Bb] her [F] wavelength.
[Gm] She lets the river answer that [F] you've always been her lover.
And [Am] you want to travel with her.
And [Bb] you want to travel blind.
And you [F] know that she will [Bb] [F] trust you.
[Gm] Oh, you've touched her perfect body [F] with your mouth.
Jesus [Bb] was a [F] sailor when he walked upon the water.
[Gm] He spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.
[Dm] [F] When he knew for certain only drowning men could see him.
He [Am] said all men will be sailors then [Bb] until the sea shall [Gm] free them.
[F]
He himself was broken [Gm] long before the sky was open.
[F]
Forsaken, almost human, [Gm] he sank beneath your wisdom.
[F] Like a stone.
[Am] And you want to travel with him.
And [Gm] you want to travel blind.
And [F] you think maybe you'll trust him.
[Gm] For he's touched your perfect body [F] with his mind.
Now Suzanne [Bb] takes [F] your hand.
She leads you to the river.
[Gm] She is wearing ragged feathers from Salvation Army counters.
[F] And the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the Harbor.
[Am] And she shows you where to look now among [Bb] the garbage and the [C] flowers.
There [F] are heroes in the seaweed.
[Gm] There are children in the morning.
[F] They are leaning out for love now.
[Gm] And they'll lean that way forever [F] while Suzanne holds the mirror.
And [Am] you want to travel with her.
[Bb] And you want to [C] travel blind.
[Gm] And [F] you know that she won't trust you.
[Gm] For she's touched your perfect body [F]
with her mind.
[Bb] [F]
