Suzanne
Suzanne's River of Wisdom: A Journey Through Love and Liberation
Lyrics
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
Suzanne invites you to her place by the river.
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
You can experience the passing boats and stay with her.
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to be there
Suzanne is somewhat eccentric, but that's part of her allure.
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
She offers you tea and oranges imported from China.
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Just as you intend to express your lack of love, something changes.
Then she gets you on her wavelength
Suzanne connects with you on a deeper level.
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
The river seems to confirm your enduring connection with Suzanne.
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
You desire to journey with Suzanne, even blindly.
And you know that she will trust you
You believe she will have faith in you.
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
Your intellectual connection with Suzanne is profound.
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
Jesus is depicted as a sailor on water.
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
He observes from a lonely tower, possibly reflecting on humanity.
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
Only those in dire straits can perceive him.
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
All men will be sailors until they find freedom.
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Jesus, however, is broken and forsaken.
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
He succumbs to wisdom like a heavy stone.
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
You aspire to journey with Jesus, even with uncertainty.
And then you think maybe you'll trust him
You contemplate trusting him due to a profound connection.
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
He has touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
Suzanne guides you to the river, adorned in humble attire.
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
She wears clothing from Salvation Army counters.
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
The sun's warmth envelops Suzanne, referred to as the lady of the harbor.
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
She reveals where to find beauty amidst the refuse and flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
Heroes and children are found in unexpected places.
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
People continue to yearn for love perpetually.
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Suzanne holds a mirror, possibly reflecting truth or self-awareness.
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
You yearn to journey with Suzanne, even with uncertainty.
And you know that you can trust her
You are confident in trusting her due to the profound connection.
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
She has touched your perfect body with her mind.
