Lyrics author: Leonard Cohen

	E
Suz	anne takes you down to her place near the river

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

	E
And you	know that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be there

	Abm	A
And she	feeds you tea & oranges that come	all the way from China

	E	A
And just	when you mean to tell her that you	have no love to give her

	E	F#m
Then she	gets you on her wavelength & she	lets the river answer

	E
That you've	always been her lover

		Abm	A
	And you	want to travel with her, and you	want to travel blind

		E
	And you	know that she will trust you,

		A	E
	For you've	touched her perfect body with your	mind

	E
And	Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water

	A
And he	spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower

	E
And	when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said

	Abm	A
	'All men will be sailors then, un	til the sea shall free them'

	E	A
But	he himself was broken, long be	fore the sky would open

	E	F#m	E
For	saken, almost human, he	sank beneath your wisdom like a	stone

		Abm	A
	And you	want to travel with him, and you	want to travel blind

		E
	And you	think maybe you'll trust him,

		A	E
	For he's	touched your perfect body with his	mind

	E
Now	Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river

	A
She is	wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter

	E
And the	sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour

	Abm	A
And she	shows you where to look among the	garbage & the flowers

	E	A
There are	heroes in the seaweed, there are	children in the morning

	E	F#m
They are	leaning out for love, & they will	lean that way forever

	E
While	Suzanne holds the mirror

		Abm	A
	And you	want to travel with her, and you	want to travel blind

		E
	And you	know you can trust her,

		A	E
	For she's	touched your perfect body with her	mind
