Susanne takes you down to
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
And just when you mean to 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 want to travel with her
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect
And he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only
a drowning man could see him
He said all men would be sellers then,
until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken,
long be fore the sky would open
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you think maybe he'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
wearing rags and feathers from
salvation army counters and the sun pours down
like honey on our lady of the harbor 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
They will lean that way forever
And you want to travel with her
And if you know that you can trust her
perfect body with her mind
