Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne (1)__________ you down to her place near the river
You can (2)________ the boats go by
You can spend the night (3)____________ 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 (4)________ China

And just when you mean to tell her
You have 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 travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And (5)________ she will (6)__________ you
For you've touched her perfect body (7)________ your mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From His lonely wooden tower

And (8)________ He knew for certain
Only (9)________________ men could see Him
He said,"All men (10)________ be sailors then
Until the sea (11)__________ free them

But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, (12)____________ human
He (13)________ (14)______________ your wisdom (15)________ a stone

And you want to (16)____________ with him
You want to travel blind
And you (17)________ he (18)________ find you
For he's touched your (19)______________ body with his mind

Suzanne takes your hand now
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, our (20)________ of the harbor
She shows you (21)__________ to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are (22)____________ in the seaweed
There are (23)________________ in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne (24)__________ the mirror

And you (25)________ to (26)____________ with her
You want to (27)____________ blind
And you know she'll (28)________ you
For she's touched your perfect (29)________ with her mind
