Testi

[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
[Verse 2]
And just when you meant to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
[Verse 3]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[Verse 4]
Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
He spent a long time watching from His lonely wooden tower
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
[Verse 5]
But He Himself was broken long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
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
[Verse 6]
Now Suzanne takes your hand and leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look now among the garbage and the flowers
[Verse 7]
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love now and they'll lean that way forever
While Suzanne hold the mirror
[Verse 8]
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
