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