Leonard Cohen – Suzanne Lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Song: Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
And she lets the river answer
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she’s half crazy
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
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
And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watchingFrom 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 know
That you can trust her For she’s touched your perfect body with her 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
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 you can trust her For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind
