Suzanne (Live in Manchester) 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 wavelength
She lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Now Suzanne takes your hand
She leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
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
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 will find her
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
