Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you (1)________ to her place (2)________ the river
You can (3)________ the (4)__________ go by
You can (5)__________ the night beside her
And you know, she's half crazy

It's why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way (6)________ China

And just when you (7)________ to (8)________ her
You have no love to (9)________ her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
You've always been her lover

And you want to travel (10)________ her
And you want to travel blind
And know she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with (11)________ mind

Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon 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 (14)________ be sailors then
Until the sea shall (15)________ them

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

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

Suzanne takes your hand now
And she leads you to the river
She is (19)______________ rags and feathers
From (20)__________________ Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey
On our, our lady of the harbor
She shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are (21)______________ out for love
And (22)________ will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to (23)____________ with her
You want to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's (24)______________ your perfect body with her mind
