Suzanne Lyrics - Nina Simone

Suzanne takes you down to her place BY (near) the river 

You can hear the boats go by 

You can spend the night FOREVER (beside her) 

And you know that she's half crazy 

AND (But) 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 

(then) She gets you on her wavelength 

And she 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 know that she will trust you 

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

NOW (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 

'CAUSE (And) you think maybe you('ll) CAN trust him 

'CAUSE (For) he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your 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 

BETWEEN (Among) the garbage and the flowers 

There are heroes in the seaweed 

There are children in the morning 

They are leaning, LEANING out for love 

And they will lean that way forever
