Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
G
Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river,
Am
You can hear the boats go by, You can spend the night beside her, G
And you know that she's half crazy, And that's why you want to be there; Bm C
And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China; G
And j ust when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her, Am
She gets you on her wave-length And lets the river answer G
That you've always been her lover. Bm C
And you want to travel with her, And you want to travel blind, G
And you know that you can trust her, Am G
For you've touched her perfect body With your mind. G
And Jesus was a sailor When He walked upon the water, Am
And he spent a long time watching From a lonely wooden tower, G
And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see Him, Bm C
He said, "All men shall be brothers, then, Until the sea shall free them," G
But He himself was broken Long before the sky would open, Am
For saken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom G
Like a stone. Bm C
And you want to travel with Him, And you want to travel blind, G
And you think you maybe trust Him, Am G
For He's touched your perfect body With His mind. G
Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river, Am
You can hear the boats go by, You can spend the night forever, G
And the sun pours down like honey, On our lady of the harbour; Bm C
And she shows you where to look Amid the garbage and the flowers. G
There are heroes in the seaweed, There are children in the morning, Am
They are leaning out for love, And they will lean that way forever, G
While Su zanne holds the mirror. Bm C
And you want to travel with her, And you want to travel blind, G
And you know that you can trust her, Am G
For you've touched her perfect body With your mind.

So very kind of you to follow along. If you like this it will make up for the ones that are a little off. Im sort of stream of consciousness as to theme and chronology.Funny how the songs and lyrics say so much but I never really listened before till i play one and post. So thanks again.allways my pleasure and essential r and r.Its becoming mandatory in a good way. Best way to have an immediate vacation.
