Suzanne Harry Belafonte

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

And that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That came 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 maybe trust her
'Cause 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 se Him
He said "All men shall be sailors
Then, until the sea shall free them"
