takes you down to her place
you can hear the boats go by
You can spend a night beside her
And you know that she's half -crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And then, 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,
you've al ways been her lover
And you want to travel with her,
and you want to travel blind
for you've touched her perfect
when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors now
until the sea salt free them
but he himself was broken
long before the sky would open forsaken almost human
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'll trust him
for his touch your perfect body
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our Lady of the Harbour
And she shows you where to look
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
Whilst the sun 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 touched your perfect
And you want to travel with her,
and you want to travel blind.
And you know that you can trust her,
for she's touched your perfect body with her
