Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the (1)__________ 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 from China

And just when you mean to tell her
You have no (2)________ to (3)________ her
She (4)________ you on her wavelength
And she lets the (5)__________ answer
You've always (6)________ her lover

And you want to (7)____________ (8)________ her
And you want to travel blind
And know she (9)________ trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Jesus was a sailor

And He (10)__________ a long time watching
From His lonely wooden tower

And when He (11)________ for certain
Only drowning men could see Him

Until the sea shall free them

But He, Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, (13)____________ human

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

While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
You want to travel blind
And you know she'll find you
For she's (25)______________ your (26)______________ body with her (27)________
