Colm Wilkinson - Suzanne Lyrics
To her place near the riverYou can hear the boats go byYou can spend the night beside herAnd you know she's half crazyThat's why you want to be thereAnd she feeds you tea and orangesThat come all the way from ChinaAnd just when you mean to tell herYou have no love to give herShe gets you on her wavelengthShe lets the river answerYou've always been her loverAnd you want to travel with herYou want to travel blindAnd you know you will trust herFor she's touched your perfect body with her mindNow Suzanne takes your handAnd she leads you to the riverShe is wearing rags and feathersFrom Salvation Army countersAnd the sun pours down like honeyOn our lady of the harborAnd she shows you where to lookAmid the garbage and the flowersThere are heroes in the seaweedChildren in the morningThey are leaning out for loveThey will lean that way foreverWhile Suzanne holds a mirrorAnd you want to travel with herYou want to travel blindAnd you know that you will find herFor you've touched her perfect body with your mindYes and Jesus was a sailorWhen He walked upon the waterAnd He spent a long time watchingFrom a lonely wooden towerAnd when He knew for certainOnly drowning men could see HimHe said, "All men will be sailors thenUntil the sea shall free them"But He Himself was brokenLong before the sky would openForsaken, almost humanHe sank beneath your wisdom like a stoneAnd you want to travel with HimYou want to travel blindAnd you know you will trust HimFor he's touched your perfect body with His mind
