suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
you can hear the boats go by
you can spend the night forever
and you know that she's half crazy that's why you want to be there
and she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from china
and just when you want to tell her that you have no love to give her
she gets you on her wavelength and lets the river answer
that you've always been her lover
and you want to travel with her
and you want to travel blind
and you think you'll may be trust her
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind
and jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
and he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower
and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
he said
all men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them"
