Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you (1)________ to her (2)__________ near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can (3)__________ the night (4)____________ her
And you know, she's half crazy

It's why you (5)________ to be there
She (6)__________ you tea and oranges
That (7)________ all the way (8)________ China

And (9)________ when you mean to tell her
You have no (10)________ to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she (11)________ 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 trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with 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 (12)________ He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said,"All men (13)________ be sailors then
Until the sea (14)__________ (15)________ them

But He, (16)______________ was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your (17)____________ like a stone

And you want to travel with him
You (18)________ to travel blind
And you (19)________ he (20)________ find you
For he's touched your (21)______________ body with his mind

Suzanne takes your hand now
And she (22)__________ you to the river
She is (23)______________ (24)________ 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 (25)______________ and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne (26)__________ the mirror

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