Suzanne Lyrics - Belafonte Returns To Carnegie Hall - Harry Belafonte

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river 

You can hear the boats go by 

You can spend the night forever 

And you know that she's half crazy 

And that's why you want to be there 

And she feeds you tea and oranges 

That came all the way from China 

And just when you want to tell her 

That you have no love to give her 

She gets you on her wavelength 

And lets the river answer 

That you've always been her lover 

And you want to travel with her 

And you want to travel blind 

And you think you maybe trust her 

'Cause she's touched your perfect body with her mind

And Jesus was a sailor 

When he walked upon the water 

And he spent a long time watching 

From a lonely wooden tower 

And when He knew for certain 

Only drowning men could se Him 

He said "All men shall 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 you maybe trust Him 

For He's touched your perfect body with His mind

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river 

You can hear the boats go by 

You can spend the night forever 

And the sun pours down like honey 

On our lady of the harbor 

And she shows you where to look 

A mid 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 for ever 

While Suzanne holds her mirror 

And you want to travel with her 

And you want to travel blind 

And you think you maybe trust her 

'Cause you've touched her perfect body with your mind
