suzanne takes you down by the river you can hear the boats float by you can spend the night forever beside her and you know she s half crazy but that s why you want to be there she feeds you tea and oranges all the way from china and just when you need to 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 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 jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower and when he knew for certain that only drowning men could see him he said all men will be sailors and the sea shall set them free but he himself was broken long before the sky would open forsaken almost human he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone and you want to travel with him you want to travel blind you think maybe you can trust him cause he s touched your perfect body with his mind now suzanne takes your hand and leads you down to the river she wearing rags and feathers from salvation army counters and the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor she shows you where to look between the garbage and the flowers there are heroes in the seaweed there are children in the morning they are leaning out for love they will lean that way forever while suzanne holds the mirror and you want to travel with her you want to travel blind and you know that you can trust her cause she s touched your perfect body with her mind with her mind
