The Sandpipers - Suzanne lyrics
[The Sandpipers - Suzanne lyrics]
Suzanne takes you down to her
Place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy that's
Why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that
Come 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 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 you'll maybe 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 and feathers
From Salvation Army counter
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And 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 think maybe you'll trust her
For you've touched her perfect
Body with your mind
Place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy that's
Why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that
Come 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 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 you'll maybe 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 and feathers
From Salvation Army counter
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And 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 think maybe you'll trust her
For you've touched her perfect
Body with your mind
