Su
E
zanne
takes you down to her place near the river
You can
F#m
hear
the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you
E
know
that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be there
And she
G#m
feeds
you tea and oranges that come
A
all
the way from China
And just
E
when you mean to tell her that you
F#m
have
no love to give her
Then she
E
gets
you on her wavelength, and she
F#m
lets
the river answer
That you've
E
always
been her lover
And you
G#m
want
to travel with her, and you
A
want
to travel blind
And you
E
know
she will trust you for you've
F#m
touched
her perfect body
With your
E
mind
And
E
Jesus
was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he
F#m
spent
a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And
E
when
he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said: "
G#m
All
men will be sailors then un
A
til
the sea shall free them"
But
E
he
himself was broken long be
F#m
fore
the sky would open
For
E
saken,
almost human, he
F#m
sank
beneath your wisdom
Like a
E
stone
And you
G#m
want
to travel with him, and you
A
want
to travel blind
And you
E
think
maybe you'll trust him for he's
F#m
touched
your perfect body
With his
E
mind
Now Su
E
zanne
takes your hand, and she leads you to the river
She is
F#m
wearing
rags and feathers from the Salvation Army counter
And the
E
sun
pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour
And she
G#m
shows
you where to look among the
A
garbage
and the flowers
There are
E
heroes in the seaweed, there are
F#m
children
in the morning
They are
E
leaning
out for love, and they will
F#m
lean
that way forever
While Su
E
zanne
holds the mirror
And you
G#m
want
to travel with her, and you
A
want
to travel blind
And you
E
know
that you can trust her for she's
F#m
touched
your perfect body
With her
E
mind
