Aretha Franklin - Suzanne Lyrics

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night
There forever
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And when you wanna tell her
That 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 wanna travel with her
Ah, but you wanna travel blind
And you think maybe you trust her
For you've touched
Your perfect body with her mind

Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
That only drowning men could see him
He said "All men shall be brothers
Then, until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken and almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
But you wanna travel with him
But you wanna travel blind
And you think maybe you trust him
For he's touched
Your perfect body with his mind
With his mind
With his mind
With his mind
Yes, he did
With his mind
Ooh, ooh
With his mind
Yeah, yeah, with
With his mind
