Su^Ezanne takes you ^A, ^Edown to her place near the ^A, ^Eriver You can ^F#mhear the boats go ^Hmi, ^F#miby, you can spend the night ^Bmbeside ^F#mher And you ^Eknow that she's half-^A, ^Ecrazy, but that's why you want to ^Abe ^Ethere And she ^G#mifeeds you tea & ^C#mi, ^G#mioranges that come ^Aall the way from ^D, ^AChina And just ^Ewhen you mean to ^A, ^Etell her that you ^F#mhave no love to ^Hmi, ^F#migive her Then she ^Egets you on her ^A, ^Ewavelength and she ^F#mlets the river ^Hmi, ^F#mianswer That you've ^Ealways been her ^Alover

And you ^G#miwant to travel ^C#mi, ^G#miwith her, and you ^Awant to travel ^D, ^Ablind And you ^Eknow that she will ^A, ^Etrust you, For you've ^F#mtouched her perfect body with your ^Emind

And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them' 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, and you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust him, For he's touched your perfect body with his mind Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river She is wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour And she shows you where to look among the garbage & 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, and you want to travel blind And you know you can trust her, For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
