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

It's why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That (3)________ all the way from China

And just when you mean to (4)________ her
You (5)________ no love to (6)________ 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 (7)________ to (8)____________ blind
And know she will trust you
For you've (9)______________ her perfect body with (10)________ mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He walked (11)________ the water
And He (12)__________ a (13)________ time watching

And when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said,"All men (14)________ be sailors then
Until the sea shall (15)________ them

But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open

He sank beneath your (16)____________ like a stone

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

Suzanne takes (20)________ hand now
And she (21)__________ you to the river

She (22)__________ you where to look
Among the (23)______________ and the flowers

There are (24)____________ in the seaweed

While (26)______________ holds the mirror

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