Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river 
You can hear the boats go by 
You can spend the night forever
And you know that 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 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 
And you think you'll maybe trust her 
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.


Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river 
You can hear the boats go by 
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey 
On our lady of the harbour 
And she shows you where to look 
Amid 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 think maybe you'll trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.


Suzanne, Leonard Cohen
