LYRICS GAME

In her place by the river

Suzanne wanted you beside her

And now you listen to the boats go by

Now you can sleep beside her

Yes, you know she's crazy

But that's why you're with her

And she offers you tea and oranges

That she brought from China

And just as you're about to tell her

That you don't have love to give her

She's already on your wave

And makes the river answer you

That you've always been lovers

And you want to travel with her

You want to travel with her blindly

Because you know you've touched her body

Her perfect body with your mind

And Jesus was a sailor

Until he walked on the water

And he stayed a long time watching alone

From his wooden tower

And then when he was sure

That only the drowned

Could see him

He said, "Be sailors till the sea sets you free."

And he himself was broken

But more human, abandoned

In our minds he didn't sink

And you want to travel with him

You want to travel with him blindly

Maybe you'll trust him

Because he touched your body with his mind

And Suzanne takes your hand

She leads you along the river

She wears rags and feathers

Taken from some dormitory

The sun pours down like honey

On her, woman of the harbor

Who shows you the colors

Between the garbage and the flowers

You find heroes among the rotting seaweed

And children in the morning

Who lean out to love

And they'll always do so

And Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her

You want to travel with her blindly

Because you know she's touched your body

Your perfect body with her mind
