Forsaken, almost human
There are heroes in the seaweed
But He himself was broken
You can hear the boats go by
You can hear the boats go by
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And you want to travel blind
And the sun pours down like honey
And you know that she's half crazy
Suzanne takes you down
And you want to travel blind
And you want to travel with her
Only drowning men could see Him
When He walked upon the water
And when He knew for certain
That you have no love to give her
There are children in the morning
And you think you'll maybe trust her
And she shows you where to look
And He spent a long time watching
She gets you on her wavelength
Suzanne takes you down
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
He said, "All men shall be sailors then
To a place by the river
Songwriter: Leonard Cohen
And you want to travel with Him
Amid the garbage and the flowers
You can spend the night forever
You can spend the night forever
To a place by the river
And Jesus was a sailor
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
And she feeds you tea and oranges
And that's why you want to be there
And you want to travel with her
Until the sea shall free them"
And you think you'll maybe trust Hm
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind
And you want to travel blind
From a lonely wooden tower
That come all the way from China
Long before the sky would open

And let's the river answer that you've always been her lover
On our lady of the harbour
And they will lean that way forever while Suzanne holds the mirror
And just when you want to tell her
And you think maybe you'll trust her
They are leaning out for love
