Leonard Cohen - Suzanne

[00:09.92] Suzanne takes you down [00:13.53] To her place near the river [00:17.48] You can hear the boats go by [00:20.47] You can spend the night beside her [00:24.55] And you know that she's half crazy [00:27.99] But that's why you wanna be there [00:31.53] And she feeds you tea and oranges [00:34.77] That come all the way from China [00:38.26] And just when you mean to tell her [00:42.25] That you have no love to give her [00:45.73] Then she gets you on her wavelength [00:49.35] And she lets the river answer [00:52.44] That you've always been her lover [00:58.80] And you want to travel with her [01:02.66] And you want to travel blind [01:05.87] And you know that she will trust you [01:09.52] For you've touched her perfect body with your mind [01:16.02] [01:20.58] And Jesus was a sailor [01:24.05] When He walked upon the water [01:27.61] And He spent a long time watching [01:30.63] From His lonely wooden tower [01:34.71] And when He knew for certain [01:37.87] Only drowning men could see Him [01:41.49] He said, "All men will be sailors then [01:45.19] Until the sea shall free them" [01:48.89] But He Himself was broken [01:52.02] Long before the sky would open [01:55.53] Forsaken, almost human [01:59.18] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone [02:05.41] [02:09.36] And you want to travel with Him [02:13.24] And you want to travel blind [02:16.40] And you think maybe you'll trust Him [02:20.19] For He's touched your perfect body with his mind [02:26.63] [02:30.82] Now, Suzanne takes your hand [02:34.68] And she leads you to the river [02:38.55] She is wearing rags and feathers [02:41.72] From the Salvation Army counters [02:45.71] And the sun pours down like honey [02:48.92] On our lady of the harbor [02:52.89] And she shows you where to look [02:55.97] Among the garbage and the flowers [02:59.65] There are heroes in the seaweed [03:03.64] There are children in the morning [03:07.11] They are leaning out for love [03:10.45] And they will lean that way forever [03:13.80] While Suzanne holds the mirror [03:20.38] And you want to travel with her [03:24.16] And you want to travel blind [03:27.58] And you know that you can trust her [03:31.44] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind [03:35.76]
