Leonard Cohen - Suzanne(2018)

[00:09.92] Suzanne takes you down
[00:13.53] To her place near the river
[00:17.48] You can hear the boats go by
[00:20.47] You can spend the night beside her
[00:24.55] And you know that she's half crazy
[00:27.99] But that's why you wanna be there
[00:31.53] And she feeds you tea and oranges
[00:34.77] That come all the way from China
[00:38.26] And just when you mean to tell her
[00:42.25] That you have no love to give her
[00:45.73] Then she gets you on her wavelength
[00:49.35] And she lets the river answer
[00:52.44] That you've always been her lover
[00:58.80] And you want to travel with her
[01:02.66] And you want to travel blind
[01:05.87] And you know that she will trust you
[01:09.52] For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[01:16.02]
[01:20.58] And Jesus was a sailor
[01:24.05] When He walked upon the water
[01:27.61] And He spent a long time watching
[01:30.63] From His lonely wooden tower
[01:34.71] And when He knew for certain
[01:37.87] Only drowning men could see Him
[01:41.49] He said, "All men will be sailors then
[01:45.19] Until the sea shall free them"
[01:48.89] But He Himself was broken
[01:52.02] Long before the sky would open
[01:55.53] Forsaken, almost human
[01:59.18] He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[02:05.41]
[02:09.36] And you want to travel with Him
[02:13.24] And you want to travel blind
[02:16.40] And you think maybe you'll trust Him
[02:20.19] For He's touched your perfect body with his mind
[02:26.63]
[02:30.82] Now, Suzanne takes your hand
[02:34.68] And she leads you to the river
[02:38.55] She is wearing rags and feathers
[02:41.72] From the Salvation Army counters
[02:45.71] And the sun pours down like honey
[02:48.92] On our lady of the harbor
[02:52.89] And she shows you where to look
[02:55.97] Among the garbage and the flowers
[02:59.65] There are heroes in the seaweed
[03:03.64] There are children in the morning
[03:07.11] They are leaning out for love
[03:10.45] And they will lean that way forever
[03:13.80] While Suzanne holds the mirror
[03:20.38] And you want to travel with her
[03:24.16] And you want to travel blind
[03:27.58] And you know that you can trust her
[03:31.44] For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[03:35.76]
