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