[D] [A]
Susan takes you down to a place by the river.
You can hear the boats go by.
You can spend the night forever.
And you know she's half crazy.
But that's why you want to be [F#m] there.
[A] And she feeds you tea and oranges [F#m] that come all the way [D] from China.
[A] And just when you want to tell [F#m] her [A] that you have no love to give her,
she gets you off her wavelength and she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover.
And you [A]
want to travel with her.
And you [D] want to travel blind.
And then you think [A] she'll maybe trust you, for you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water.
And he spent a long time watching from [D] a lonely wooden tower.
[A] And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
he said all men shall be sailors then until [F#m] the sea [D] shall free them.
But [A] he himself was broken [F#m]
long [A] before the sky would open.
And he says beneath your wisdom like a stone.
And you want to travel with him.
And you [D] want to travel blind.
And then [A] you think you'll maybe trust him, for he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Susan takes you down to a place by the river.
You can hear the boats go by.
You [D] can spend [D] the night forever.
And [A] the sun pours down like honey [A] on our lady of the harbor.
And she shows you where to look among the [D] garbage and the flowers.
[A] There are heroes in the sea.
There are children in the morning.
They are leaning out for love.
And they will [F#m] lead that way forever [D] while Susan holds together.
And you want to travel with her.
And you [D] want to travel blind.
And then you [A] think you'll maybe trust her, for she's touched you with her mind.
