Suzanne
James Taylor

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 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

And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to giveher

Then she gets you on her wavelength

And she 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 know she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body

With your mind


Now Jesus was a sailor

When he walked opon the water

And he spent a long time watching

From his lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain

Only drownding men could see him

He said

All men shall be sailors then

Until the sea shall freethem

But he himself was broken

Long before the skys would open

Foresaken, almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom

Like a stone


And you 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


Now Suzanne takes your hand

And she 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

Among the garbage and theflowers

There are heros in the seaweed

There are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love

They will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror


And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you know you can trust her

For she's touched your perfect body

With her mind
