You can hear the boats go by,
you can spend the night beside her
And you know 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 gets you on her wavelet
and she let s 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 that you can trust her
Cause she's touched your perfect body
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
All he drowned in, 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
And you want to travel with Him
And you want to travel blind
An d you think that you can trust Him
As He's touched your perfect body
Well, it's my way of hellin'
Now Susan takes your hand
And she leads you to the water
She's wearin' rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
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, leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Susan holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think that you can trust her
She's touched your perfect body
