Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

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

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

And just when you (5)________ 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 (6)____________ blind
And know she (7)________ trust you
For you've touched her perfect (8)________ with (9)________ mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He (10)____________ (11)________ the water
And He spent a long time watching
From His lonely (12)____________ tower

And (13)________ He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said,"All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall (14)________ them

But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky (15)__________ open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

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

Suzanne takes your hand now
And she (20)__________ 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 (21)__________ you (22)__________ to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

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

And you want to (25)____________ with her
You want to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's (26)______________ your perfect body with her mind
