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