Testo Suzanne - James Taylor
Testo della canzone Suzanne (James Taylor), tratta dall'album Covers (Deluxe Edition)
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can see the boats go by
And you can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
Yes and when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said, "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea... free them"
But He Himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with Him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust Him
'Cause He's touched your perfect body with his mind
Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you beside the water
She is wearing rags and feathers
From the Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
She shows you where to look
Between the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
You want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you can trust her
'Cause she's touched your perfect body with her mind
