E
when you mean to tell her
F#m
that you have no love to give her
E
Then she gets you on her wavelength
F#m
And she lets the river answer
E
E
that you've always been her lover

Chorus 1
G#m
And you want to travel with her,
A
and you want to travel blind
E
And then you know that she will trust you
F#m
For you've touched her perfect body
E
with your mind
E
E
Verse 2
E
And Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water
F#m
And he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
E
And when he knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
G#m
He said all men will be sailors
A
then until the sea shall free them
E
But he himself was broken,
F#m
long before the sky would open
E
Forsaken, almost human,
F#m
he sank beneath your wisdom
E
like a stone
E
E
Chorus 2
G#m
And you want to travel with him,
A
and you want to travel blind
E
And then you think maybe you'll trust him
F#m
For he's touched your perfect body
E
with his mind
E
E
Verse 3
E
Now, Suzanne takes your hand
and she leads you to the river
F#m
She's wearing rags and feathers
from Salvation Army counters
E
And the sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor
G#m
And she shows you where to look
A
among the garbage and the flowers
E
There are heroes in the seaweed,
F#m
there are children in the morning
E
They are leaning out for love
F#m
and they will lean that way forever
E
E
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Chorus 3
G#m
And you want to travel with her,
A
and you want to travel blind
E
And then you know that you can trust her
F#m
For she's touched your perfect body
E
with her mind
