[00:02.43]Suzanne - Nina Simone
[00:10.55]Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
[00:17.93]You can hear the boats go by
[00:21.80]You can spend the night beside her
[00:25.73]And you know that shes half crazy
[00:29.69]But thats why you want to be there
[00:32.95]And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:37.89]That come all the way from china
[00:42.64]And just when you mean to tell her
[00:45.35]
[00:46.45]That you have no love to give her
[00:50.45]Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:53.29]And she lets the river answer
[00:56.97]That youve always been her lover
[01:03.91]
[01:05.66]And you want to travel with her
[01:10.03]And you want to travel blind
[01:14.43]And you know that she will trust you
[01:18.86]For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.
[01:26.74]And jesus was a sailor
[01:34.49]When he walked upon the water
[01:38.74]And he spent a long time watching
[01:42.94]From his lonely wooden tower
[01:46.75]And when he knew for certain
[01:52.06]Only drowning men could see him
[01:55.63]He said all men will be sailors then
[02:00.06]Until the sea shall free them
[02:03.25]But he himself was broken
[02:07.56]Long before the sky would open
[02:12.07]Forsaken, almost human
[02:16.44]He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:25.08]
[02:27.34]And you want to travel with him
[02:31.29]And you want to travel blind
[02:35.55]And you think maybe youll trust him
[02:39.55]For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.
[02:47.88]Now suzanne takes your hand
[02:54.95]And she leads you to the river
[02:59.76]She is wearing rags and feathers
[03:04.08]From salvation army counters
[03:07.47]And the sun pours down like honey
[03:11.60]On our lady of the harbour
[03:15.10]And she shows you where to look
[03:19.47]Among the garbage and the flowers
[03:23.97]There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:28.18]There are children in the morning
[03:31.38]They are leaning out for love
[03:35.63]And they will lean that way forever
[03:40.07]While suzanne holds the mirror
[03:46.26]
[03:48.44]And you want to travel with her
[03:52.38]And you want to travel blind
[03:56.57]And you know that you can trust her
[04:00.70]For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.
