\beginverse
Suz\[E]anne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can \[F#m]hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
\endverse
\beginverse*
And you \[E]know that she's half crazy
But that's why you wanna be there
And she \[G#m]feeds you tea and oranges
That come \[A]all the way from China
\endverse
\beginverse*
And \[E]just when you mean to tell her
That you \[F#m]have no love to give her
Then she \[E]gets you on her wavelength
And she \[F#m]lets the river answer that you've al\[E]ways been her lover
\endverse
\beginchorus
And you \[G#m]want to travel with her
And you \[A]want to travel blind
And you \[E]know that she will trust you
For you've \[F#m]touched her perfect body with your \[E]mind
\endchorus
\beginverse
And Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
\endverse
\beginverse*
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''
\endverse
\beginverse*
But He Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
\endverse
\beginchorus
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
\endchorus
\beginverse
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
\endverse
\beginverse*
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
\endverse
\beginverse*
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
\endverse
\beginchorus
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
\endchorus
