Suzanne - Leonard Cohen
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 And just
when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wave length
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 that she will trust you
For you've touched
her perfect body
with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And 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
But he himself was broken Long
before the sky would open
For saken 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 is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And 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 that you can trust her
For she's touched your
perfect body with her mind
