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