Suzanne Lyrics - Joan Baez

Suzzane takes you down 

To a place by the river. 

You can see the boats go by, 

You could 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 come all the way from China. 

And just when you mean to tell her 

That you have no love to give her, 

She takes you in her arms 

And she lets the river answer 

That you've always been her lover.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And you want to travel with her, 

And you want to travel blind. 

And you think you'll maybe trust her 

'Cause she's touched you, 

And she's moved you, 

And she's kind. 

Jesus was a sailor 

When he walked up the water. 

He spent a long time watching 

From a lonely wooden tower. 

And when He knew for certain 

Only drowning men could see Him, 

He said, "All men shall be sailors then, 

Until the sea shall free them." 

He Himself was broken 

Long before the sky was open; 

Forsaken, almost human, 

He sank beneath your wisdom like a star.

And you want to travel with Him, 

And you want to travel blind. 

And you think you'll maybe trust Him 

'Cause He's touched you 

And He's moved you, 

And He's kind. 

Suzzane takes your hand, 

And she leads you to the river. 

She's wearing rags and feathers 

From Salvation Army counters. 

And the sun shines down in full 

On our lady of the harbor. 

And she shows you where to look 

Beneath the garbage and the flowers. 

There are heroes in the seaweed, 

There are children in the morning. 

And you want to travel with her, 

And you want to travel blind. 

And you think you'll maybe trust her 

'Cause she's touched you, 

And she's moved you, 

And she's kind.
