Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her (1)__________ near the river
You can hear the (2)__________ go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know, she's half crazy

It's why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her
You (3)________ no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
You've always been her lover

And you want to (4)____________ with her
And you want to (5)____________ blind
And know she (6)________ (7)__________ you
For you've touched her (8)______________ body with your mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From His (9)____________ (10)____________ tower

And (11)________ He (12)________ for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said,"All men will be (13)______________ 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

And you want to travel (14)________ him
You (15)________ to travel blind
And you (16)________ he (17)________ find you
For he's touched (18)________ perfect (19)________ (20)________ his mind

Suzanne takes your (21)________ now
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters

And the sun (22)__________ (23)________ like honey
On our, our lady of the harbor
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 (24)________ lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to (25)____________ with her
You (26)________ to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's (27)______________ your perfect body with her mind
