Suzanne (Leonard Cohen) - Cover

I've wanted to do this for a long time..

Enjoy.

Lyrics:

Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that shes half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.

[aroncooker]

So thats nice and all, but Im ready to hear an aria or something.....

[tenordramaticitm2]

Nice piece and very beatiful voice! Bravo

[vans1744]

connect more, guitar chords are a little slow, maybe on purpose? You should rerecord in a place where you can really sing, not a dorm room. Not bad bud

[bittor666]

Excellent!! Great cover, congratulations from Spain

[flaze3]

I think you capture the essence of Cohen well. I don't much like him, but you've done a good job here.

GENIAL

Any guy your age who can appreciate the brilliance of Leonard Cohen is okay in my book!

I like how you take a natural approach to this song, you take your time while paying attention to phrasing and accentuating the lyrics...

excellent!
