[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can see the boats go by
And you can spend the night forever
And you know she's half crazy
And 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
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
[Verse 2]
And Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
Yes, and when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said, all men will be sailors then
Until the seas free them
But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken and almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
