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
That's why you wanna be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she 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 knew that she would trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
when he walked upon the water,
And he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower,
And when he knew for a spell,
only drowning men could see him,
He said all men will be sailors then,
until the sea shall free them
long before the sky would open
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 trust him
For he's such a perfect buddy
Now Susan takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's wearing rocks and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
They are heroes in the sea wind
They 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 know that you can trust her
For she's touching your perfect body
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can't trust her
For she's touching a perfect body
