SUZANNE TAKES YOU
DOWN TO HER PLACE
NEAR THE RIVER
YOU CAN HEAR THE
BOATS GO BY
YOU CAN SPEND THE
NIGHT BESIDE HER
AND YOU KNOW THAT
SHE'S HALF CRAZY
BUT 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
MEAN TO TELL HER
THAT YOU HAVE NO
LOVE TO GIVE HER
THEN SHE GETS YOU
ON HER WAVELENGTH
AND SHE LETS THE
RIVER ANSWER
THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS
BEEN HER LOVER
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL WITH HER
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL BLIND
AND YOU KNOW THAT
SHE WILL 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 HIS LONELY
WOODEN TOWER
AND WHEN HE KNEW
FOR CERTAIN
ONLY DROWNING MEN
COULD SEE HIM
HE SAID ALL MEN WILL
BE SAILORS THEN
UNTIL THE SEA SHALL
FREE THEM
BUT HE HIMSELF WAS
BROKEN LONG BEFORE
THE SKY WOULD OPEN
FORSAKEN ALMOST HUMAN
HE SANK BENEATH YOUR
WISDOM LIKE A STONE
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL WITH HIM
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL BLIND
AND YOU THINK MAYBE
YOU'LL TRUST HIM
FOR HE'S TOUCHED YOUR
PERFECT BODY WITH
HIS MIND
NOW SUZANNE TAKES
YOUR HAND
AND SHE LEADS YOU
TO THE RIVER
SHE IS WEARING RAGS
AND FEATHERS
FROM SALVATION
ARMY COUNTERS
AND THE SUN POURS
DOWN LIKE HONEY
ON OUR LADY OF
THE HARBOUR
AND SHE SHOWS YOU
WHERE TO LOOK
AMONG THE GARBAGE
AND THE FLOWERS
THERE ARE HEROES
IN THE SEAWEED
THERE ARE CHILDREN
IN THE MORNING
THEY ARE LEANING
OUT FOR LOVE
AND THEY WILL LEAN
THAT WAY FOREVER
WHILE SUZANNE HOLDS
THE MIRROR
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL WITH HER
AND YOU WANT TO
TRAVEL BLIND
AND YOU KNOW THAT
YOU CAN TRUST HER
FOR SHE'S TOUCHED YOUR
PERFECT BODY WITH
HER MIND
