Suzanne:Neil Diamond.
Album - Stones - #17 in UK and #11 on BB
Hot 200 on MCA Records in 1971.
INTRO: A   Bm   E  A  
#1.
ASuzanne takes you down to her place by the river..
Dyou can hear the boats go by..you can spend the
night forever.
And you Aknow the girl's half crazy and that's why
you want to be there.
And she C#mfeeds you tea and oranges that come Dall the
way from AChina.
#2.
AAnd just when you want to tell her that you have no
love to give her..she Dgets you on her wavelength
and lets the river answer..that you've Aalways been
her lover.
#3.
AAnd Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
and He Dspent a long time watching from the lonely wooden
tower.
And Awhen he knew for certain only drowning men could
see him he said, "C#mAll men are sailors then Duntil the sea
shall free them."
But AHe himself was broken, long before the sky would open.
ForDsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like
A
Astone.
BRIDGE:
And you C#mwant to travel with Him and you Dwant to travel blind.
And you Athink that you may trust Him for He's Etouched your
Dperfect Ebody with His Amind.
#3.
ASuzanne takes you down to her place by the river..you can Dhear
the boats that go by, you can spend the night forever.
And the Asun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor.
And she C#mshows you where to look amid the Dgarbage and the flowers.
There are Aheroes in the seaweed..there are children in the morning
They are Dleaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,
while ASuzanne holds her mirror.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
