Suzanne Lyrics

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her

And you know that she's half crazy, and that's why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges that came all the way from China

And just when you want to tell her that you have no love to give her

She gets you on her wavelength and lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind

And you think you'll maybe trust her

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him

He said "all men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them"

But himself was broken long before the sky would openFrancoise Hardy - Suzanne - http://motolyrics.com/francoise-hardy/suzanne-lyrics.html

Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind

And you think you'll maybe trust him

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river

You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her

And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbour

And she shows you where to look among 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 her mirror

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind

And you think maybe you'll trust her

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
