Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can (1)________ the boats go by
You can spend the night (2)____________ her
And you know, she's (3)________ crazy

It's why you (4)________ to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way (5)________ China

And just when you mean to tell her
You have no love to give her
She (6)________ 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 know she will (7)__________ you
For you've touched her perfect (8)________ with your mind

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

And when He (11)________ for certain
Only (12)________________ men could see Him
He said,"All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall (13)________ them

But He, Himself was broken
Long (14)____________ the sky (15)__________ open
Forsaken, (16)____________ human
He sank (17)______________ (18)________ wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
You want to travel blind
And you know he will find you
For he's (19)______________ your (20)______________ 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 (21)________ (22)________ honey
On our, our lady of the harbor
She shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are (23)____________ in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And (24)________ will lean that way forever
While (25)______________ holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's touched (26)________ perfect body with her (27)________
