Suzanne(Live) - Fairport Convention

Suzanne - Fairport Convention
Suzanne takes your hand she lead to to the river
You can hear boats go by
You can spend night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
That's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
Just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
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
You think that maybe you'll trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
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
That only drowning men could see him
He said all men shall be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
And forsaken only human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think well maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Suzanne takes your hand and she lead you by the river
She is worrying right and favors
From selfish and become pain
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
And there are children in the morning
And 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 think that well maybe you'll trust her
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
