George Hamilton Iv Suzanne Lyrics

Suzanne Lyrics

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river



You can hear the boats go by you can stay the night beside her



And you know 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



Just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her



Then she gets you on her wave length 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 know she will trust you



Cause you've touched her perfect body with your mind







And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water



And he spent a long time searching from his lonely wooden tower



And just when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him



He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall 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 may be you'll trust him



For he's touched your perfect body with his mind







Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river



She's weaving 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 among the garbage and the flowers



There are heros in the seaweed there are children in the morning



They are leaning out for love 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 touched your perfect body with her mind
