Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place (1)________ the river
You can (2)________ the boats go by
You can (3)__________ the night beside her
And you know, she's (4)________ 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 have no love to (5)________ her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
You've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And (6)________ she will trust you
For you've (7)______________ her perfect body with (8)________ mind

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

And when He knew for certain
Only drowning men (11)__________ 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, (12)____________ human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
You want to travel blind
And you know he will (13)________ you
For he's touched your perfect body (14)________ his mind

Suzanne (15)__________ your hand now
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing (16)________ and feathers
From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down (17)________ honey
On our, our (18)________ of the harbor
She (19)__________ you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are (20)________________ in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While (21)______________ holds the mirror

And you want to (22)____________ (23)________ her
You (24)________ to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's touched your perfect body with her (25)________
