She is wearing rags, feathers
He said, all men will be sailors then
And He spent a long time watching
And Jesus was a sailor
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
Yes, and when He knew for certain
'Cause He's touched your perfect body with His mind
That you have no love to give her
And you know she's half crazy
She gets you on her wavelength
And you can spend the night forever
She shows you where to look
When He walked upon the water
From a lonely wooden tower
Between the garbage and the flowers
Until the seas free them
That you've always been her lover
And just when you mean to tell her
Suzanne takes your hand
And she lets the river answer
And that's why you want to be there
There are children in the morning
But He, Himself was broken
And you think maybe you can trust her
Only drowning men could see Him
And you want to travel blind
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
Long before the sky would open
And they will lean that way forever
They are leaning out for love
And you think maybe you'll trust him
And you want to travel with Him
You want to travel with her
And she leads you besides the water
And the sun pours down like honey
There are heroes in the seaweed
While Suzanne holds the mirror
You can see the boats go by
On our lady of the harbor
Forsaken and almost human
And you want to travel blind
