     C                                              C  
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,  
               Dm                                            Dm  
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her,  
               C                                                         C  
And you know that she's half crazy, and that's why you want to be there,  
                Em                                                       F  
And she feeds you tea and oranges, that come all the way from China.  
        C                                                           Dm  
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,  
        C                                               Dm  
She gets you on her wavelength, and lets the river answer  
                     C  
That you've always been her lover  
                Em                                             F  
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind.  
                C    
And you know that she will trust you,  
                  Dm                                                  C  
Cause you touched her perfect body with your mind.  
         C                                C  
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water.  
Dm                                        Dm  
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.  
   C                                                   C  
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him,  
       Em                                                      F  
He said, " All men will be sailors, then, Until the sea shall free them."  
       C                                              Dm  
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open.  
       C  
Foresaken, almost human.  
                Dm                                       C  
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.  
               Em                                             F  
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind.  
                C    
And you think maybe you'll trust him,  
                   Dm                                                C  
Cause he touched you perfect body with his mind.  
      C                                              C  
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,  
               Dm                                           Dm  
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,  
              C                                                     C  
And the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour.  
                 Em                                                  F  
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers.  
              C                                                     Dm  
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning.  
                 C                                           Dm  
They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever.  
          C  
While Suzanne holds the mirror.  
               Em                                            F  
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind.  
                C    
And you know you can trust her,  
                  Dm                                                    C  
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.
