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