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
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
You have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
She lets the river answer
You've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you know you will trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
Yes 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 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
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
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
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
You have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
She lets the river answer
You've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you know you will trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
Yes 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 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
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
