Suzanne (Live)

Suzanne takes ya down to her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her

And you know, she's half crazy

That's why you wanna be there

And she feeds ya tea and oranges that come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her, you'll have no love to give her

She gets you on her wavelength, she lets the river answer

You've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her, you want to travel blind

And you know, she will find you for you've touched her perfect body

With your mind

Yes, and Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watching from his only 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, you want to travel blind

And you know, you can trust him for he's touched your perfect body

With his mind

Suzanne takes your hand, she leads you to the village

She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army calendars

And the sun pours down like honey

But our lady of the harbor

And she shows you where to look

Amid the garbage and the flowers there are heroes in the seaweed

Children in the morning, they are leaning out for love

That will lean that way forever while Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her, you want to travel blind

And you know, she will trust you for she's touched your perfect body

With her mind
