Neil Diamond - Suzanne Lyrics
Suzanne takes you dow-ownTo her place by the riverYou can hear the boats go byYou can spend the night foreverAnd you know the girl'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 want to tell herThat you have no love to give herShe gets you on her wavelengthAnd lets the river answerThat you've always been her lover-erAnd Jesus was a sailorWhen he walked upon the waterAnd he spent a long time watchin'From a lonely wooden towerAnd when he knew for certainOnly-y drownin' men could see himHe said all men are sailors, thenUntil the sea shall free themBu-ut he, himself, was brokenLong before the sky would ope-enForsaken, almost humanHe sank beneath your wisdom like a sto-o-oneAnd you wanna travel with himAhh you wanna travel bli-indAnd you-ou think that you might trust himFor he's touched your perfect body with his mindSuzanne takes you downTo her place by the riverAnd you can hear the boats that go byYou can spend the night foreverAnd the sun pours down like honeyOn Ou-our Lady of the HarbourAnd she shows you where to lookAmid the garbage and the flowersThere are heroes in the seaweedThere are children in the morni-ingThey are leanin' out for loveAnd they will lean that way foreverWhile Suzanne holds her mirror
