Suzanne
Journey of Love and Revelation by the River - Suzanne's Wisdom
Lyrics
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
Suzanne invites you to her place near the river.
You can hear the boats go by
You can hear the passing boats from her place.
You can spend the night beside her
You can spend the night with Suzanne.
And you know that she's half crazy
Suzanne is somewhat eccentric or unpredictable.
But that's why you want to be there
You are drawn to her because of her uniqueness.
And she feeds you tea and oranges
She offers you tea and oranges, exotic and distant.
That come all the way from China
These items come from China, emphasizing their origin.
And just when you mean to tell her
When you plan to express your lack of love,
That you have no love to give her
She connects with you on a deeper level.
Then she gets you on her wavelength
Suzanne aligns with your thoughts and feelings.
And she lets the river answer
The river seems to respond to your connection.
That you've always been her lover
It's suggested that you've always been her lover.
And you want to travel with her
You desire to journey with Suzanne.
And you want to travel blind
You seek an adventurous and open experience.
And you know that she will trust you
You trust that Suzanne believes in you.
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
Your connection with her is beyond the physical.
And Jesus was a sailor
Reference to Jesus as a sailor, metaphorically.
When he walked upon the water
Jesus walked on water, symbolizing the extraordinary.
And he spent a long time watching
He observed from a lonely tower, detached.
From his lonely wooden tower
His vigilance was for those in dire straits.
And when he knew for certain
Only those facing adversity could perceive him.
Only drowning men could see him
All men will be sailors until freed by the sea.
He said "All men will be sailors then
Jesus acknowledges the human condition.
Until the sea shall free them"
The sea is a liberator, yet he himself is broken.
But he himself was broken
Despite his divine nature, Jesus faced challenges.
Long before the sky would open
He sank, humbled, before enlightenment.
Forsaken, almost human
Jesus, in a vulnerable state, connects with humanity.
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
A simile describing the depth of connection.
And you want to travel with him
Similar desire to travel and connect as with Suzanne.
And you want to travel blind
The wish to explore the unknown with Jesus.
And you think maybe you'll trust him
You consider trusting Jesus.
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Jesus, too, has a profound mental connection.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
Suzanne takes the lead, guiding you to the river.
And she leads you to the river
A literal or metaphorical journey with Suzanne.
She is wearing rags and feathers
Suzanne is adorned in humble attire.
From Salvation Army counters
The Salvation Army's cast-offs symbolize humility.
And the sun pours down like honey
Beautiful sunlight on a significant figure.
On our lady of the harbor
A metaphorical reference to a nurturing figure.
And she shows you where to look
Guidance on finding value amid the mundane.
Among the garbage and the flowers
Amid life's challenges, there's beauty and heroism.
There are heroes in the seaweed
Even in difficult times, there are admirable figures.
There are children in the morning
Children represent hope and new beginnings.
They are leaning out for love
The enduring pursuit of love and connection.
And they will lean that way forever
A depiction of eternal love and yearning.
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Suzanne facilitates self-reflection.
And you want to travel with her
The desire to journey with Suzanne persists.
And you want to travel blind
A renewed wish to explore the unknown.
And you know that you can trust her
Confidence in trusting Suzanne deepens.
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
Similar deep connection through mental intimacy.
