She's been written in song by
Leonard Cohen and Sweet Baby James
But I got this feeling this
There's ghosts in the rear of that
A vortex of hope by the cigar
You can pay for the whisky but she'll
You're just holding a loaded hand
But the old- school passion
clenched teeth and raised fists
And a love song for Suzanne
Give her the grace to face herself
Too long she has languished
The bearskin, the mattress,
Give her some wisdom for all
Her dance with the spirits,
She's been sleeping it off but
This love song for Suzanne
And if you get the nod on
From a death- do- us partner
You can ride on that carpet,
but you best keep your sight
On the tender who takes your hand
I've got twelve years of crazy
As a love song for Suzanne
Too long she has languished
The bearskin, the mattress,
My dance with misfortune,
I've been under the weather but the sun
I've been under the weather
but the sun's shining through
This love song for Suzanne
