Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the (1)__________ go by
You can spend the night (2)____________ 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 have no love to give her
She (3)________ you on her wavelength
And she lets the (4)__________ answer
You've (5)____________ been her lover

And you (6)________ to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And know she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He walked (7)________ the water
And He spent a long (8)________ watching
From His lonely wooden tower

And when He knew for certain
Only (9)________________ men could see Him
He said,"All men (10)________ be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them

But He, Himself was broken
Long (11)____________ the sky (12)__________ open
Forsaken, almost human
He (13)________ beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
You want to travel blind
And you know he (14)________ (15)________ you
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Suzanne takes your (16)________ now
And she (17)__________ you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey
On our, our lady of the harbor
She shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are (18)____________ in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne (19)__________ the mirror

And you (20)________ to (21)____________ with her
You want to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's touched (22)________ perfect body (23)________ her (24)________
