More Best Of Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down
to her place near  the river
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 mena to tell her
that you have no love to give her
she gets you on he wavelength
and she lets he river answer
that you´ve a ways been her lover


And you want to travel with her
you want to travel blind
and you know that she can trust you
for you´ve touched her perfect body
with you mind


And Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water
adn 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 you wisdom like 
a stone


And you want to travel with him
you want to travel blind
and you think maybe you´ll trust him
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
among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
there are children in the morning
they are leaning out for love
they will lean that way forever
while Suzanne holds the mirror


And you want to travel with her
you want to travel blind
and you know that you can trust her
for she´s touched your perfect body
with her mind
