to the place by 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 is why you want to be there.
And she feeds you tea and orange juice
that come all the way from China.
And just when you would tell her
that you have no love to give her,
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you won't travel with her
And you think perhaps you'll trust her
for she has touched your perfect
when he walked upon the water,
an d he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower.
And when he knew for cer tain,
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.
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
leads you down by the river,
And she's wearing rags and feathers
from salvation and accountants
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
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 perhaps you'll trust her,
for you've touched her per
fect body with your mind. you
