zanne takes you down to her place by the river
You can F#m
hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her

Then she E
gets you on her wavelength
And she F#m
lets the river answer that you've E
always been her lover
R: And you G#m
want to travel with her
And you A
want to travel blind
And you kE
now that she will trust you
For you've toF#m
uched her perfect body with your mE

2. 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 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 your wisdom like a stone
R: And you want to travel with him…
3. 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 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 out for love and they will lean that way forever
while Suzanne holds the mirror
R: And you want to travel with her…
