Suzanne Lyrics by Bridget St. John

0

[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the birds go by you
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
[Verse 2]
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her way then
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
[Verse 3]
And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you think maybe she'll trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind
[Verse 4]
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
Spend a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men should be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the skies would open
Forsaken almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone
[Verse 5]
And you want to travel with him
You want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
With his mind
[Verse 6]
And as his arm takes your hand
She leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army Counters
And the sun falls down like honey
On the lady of the harbour
As she shows you where to look
Amongst the garbage and the flowers
There are heros in the seaweed
Their children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Verse 7]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body
With her mind
