[Verse]
SuEzanne takes you downTo her place near the river
You can
F#mhear the boats go byYou can spend the night beside her
And you
Eknow that she's half crazyBut that's why you want to be there
And she
G#mfeeds you tea and orangesThat come
Aall the way from ChinaAnd just
E when you mean to tell herThat you
F#mhave no love to give herThen she
Egets you on her wavelengthAnd she
F#mlets the river answerThat you've
Ealways been her lover[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with herAnd you
Awant to travel blindAnd you
Eknow that she will trust youFor you've
F#mtouched her perfect bodyWith your
Emind[Verse]
And EJesus was a sailorWhen he walked upon the water
And he
F#mspent a long time watchingFrom his lonely wooden tower
And
Ewhen he knew for certainOnly drowning men could see him
He said
G#m"All men will be sailors thenUn
Atil the sea shall free them"But
Ehe himself was brokenLong be
F#mfore the sky would openFor
Esaken, almost humanHe
F#msank beneath your wisdomLike a
Estone[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with himAnd you
Awant to travel blindAnd you
Ethink maybe you'll trust himFor he's
F#mtouched your perfect bodyWith his
Emind[Verse]
Now SuEzanne takes your handAnd she leads you to the river
She is
F#mwearing rags and feathersFrom Salvation Army counters
And the
Esun pours down like honeyOn Our Lady of the Harbour
And she
G#mshows you where to lookAmong the
Agarbage and the flowersThere are
E heroes in the seaweedThere are
F#mchildren in the morningThey are
Eleaning out for loveAnd they will
F#mlean that way foreverWhile Su
Ezanne holds the mirror[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with herAnd you
Awant to travel blindAnd you
Eknow you can trust herFor she's
F#mtouched your perfect bodyWith her
Emind
