Suzanne takes you dow-own

To her place by the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night forever

And you know the girl's half-crazy

That's why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And just when you want to tell her

That you have no love to give her

She gets you on her wavelength

And lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover-er



And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watchin'

From a lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain

Only-y drownin' men could see him

He said all men are sailors, then

Until the sea shall free them

Bu-ut he, himself, was broken

Long before the sky would ope-en

Forsaken, almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom like a sto-o-one



And you wanna travel with him

Ahh you wanna travel bli-ind

And you-ou think that you might trust him

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind



Suzanne takes you down

To her place by the river

And you can hear the boats that go by

You can spend the night forever

And the sun pours down like honey

On Ou-our Lady of the Harbour

And she shows you where to look

Amid the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed

There are children in the morni-ing

They are leanin' out for love

And they will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds her mirror
