Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

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

It's why you want to be there
She (5)__________ you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her
You (6)________ no love to (7)________ her
She (8)________ you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
You've always been her lover

And you want to (9)____________ with her
And you want to (10)____________ blind
And know she (11)________ 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 (12)________ time watching
From His lonely wooden tower

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

But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He (15)________ beneath your wisdom (16)________ a stone

And you want to travel with him
You want to travel blind
And you know he will find you
For he's (17)______________ your (18)______________ 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 (19)__________ down like honey
On our, our (20)________ of the harbor
She shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are (21)____________ in the seaweed
There are (22)________________ in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean (23)________ way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you (24)________ she'll find you
For she's touched your perfect (25)________ with her mind
