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
and that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
that came 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
an d you want to travel blind
And you think you may be trusting,
perfect body with your mind.
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
until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken,
long before the sky would open
And you wanna travel with him,
and you wanna travel blind
And you think you'll maybe trust him,
he's touched your perfect
to her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by,
you can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor
As she shows you where to look
amid the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the sea,
there are children in the morning
They're 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 you'll maybe trust her,
for you've touched her perfect
