Suzanne - Live On 'John Peel's Top Gear', 1968
Suzanne
takes
you
down
to
her
place
near
the
river
Suzanne
t'emmène
dans
sa
maison
près
de
la
rivière
You
can
hear
the
boats
go
by
Tu
peux
entendre
les
bateaux
passer
You
can
spend
the
night
beside
her
Tu
peux
passer
la
nuit
à
ses
côtés
And
you
know
that
she′s
half
crazy
Et
tu
sais
qu'elle
est
un
peu
folle
But
that's
why
you
want
to
be
there
Mais
c'est
pour
ça
que
tu
veux
être
là
And
she
feeds
you
tea
and
oranges
Et
elle
te
sert
du
thé
et
des
oranges
That
come
all
the
way
from
China
Qui
viennent
tout
droit
de
Chine
And
just
when
you
mean
to
tell
her
Et
juste
au
moment
où
tu
veux
lui
dire
That
you
have
no
love
to
give
her
Que
tu
n'as
pas
d'amour
à
lui
donner
Then
she
gets
you
on
her
wavelength
Alors
elle
te
met
sur
sa
longueur
d'onde
And
she
lets
the
river
answer
Et
elle
laisse
la
rivière
répondre
That
you′ve
always
been
her
lover
Que
tu
as
toujours
été
son
amant
And
you
want
to
travel
with
her
Et
tu
veux
voyager
avec
elle
And
you
want
to
travel
blind
Et
tu
veux
voyager
aveugle
And
you
know
that
she
will
trust
you
Et
tu
sais
qu'elle
te
fera
confiance
For
you've
touched
her
perfect
body
with
your
mind
Car
tu
as
touché
son
corps
parfait
avec
ton
esprit
And
Jesus
was
a
sailor
Et
Jésus
était
un
marin
When
he
walked
upon
the
water
Quand
il
marchait
sur
l'eau
And
he
spent
a
long
time
watching
Et
il
a
passé
beaucoup
de
temps
à
regarder
From
his
lonely
wooden
tower
Depuis
sa
tour
de
bois
solitaire
And
when
he
knew
for
certain
Et
quand
il
a
su
avec
certitude
Only
drowning
men
could
see
him
Que
seuls
les
hommes
qui
se
noient
pouvaient
le
voir
He
said
"All
men
will
be
sailors
then
Il
a
dit
"Tous
les
hommes
seront
alors
des
marins
Until
the
sea
shall
free
them"
Jusqu'à
ce
que
la
mer
les
libère"
But
he
himself
was
broken
Mais
il
était
lui-même
brisé
Long
before
the
sky
would
open
Bien
avant
que
le
ciel
ne
s'ouvre
Forsaken,
almost
human
Abandonné,
presque
humain
He
sank
beneath
your
wisdom
like
a
stone
Il
a
coulé
sous
ta
sagesse
comme
une
pierre
And
you
want
to
travel
with
him
Et
tu
veux
voyager
avec
lui
And
you
want
to
travel
blind
Et
tu
veux
voyager
aveugle
And
you
think
maybe
you'll
trust
him
Et
tu
penses
que
peut-être
tu
lui
feras
confiance
For
he′s
touched
your
perfect
body
with
his
mind
Car
il
a
touché
ton
corps
parfait
avec
son
esprit
Now
Suzanne
takes
your
hand
Maintenant
Suzanne
te
prend
la
main
And
she
leads
you
to
the
river
Et
elle
te
conduit
à
la
rivière
She
is
wearing
rags
and
feathers
Elle
porte
des
chiffons
et
des
plumes
From
Salvation
Army
counters
Des
comptoirs
de
l'Armée
du
Salut
And
the
sun
pours
down
like
honey
Et
le
soleil
se
déverse
comme
du
miel
On
our
lady
of
the
harbour
Sur
notre
dame
du
port
And
she
shows
you
where
to
look
Et
elle
te
montre
où
regarder
Among
the
garbage
and
the
flowers
Parmi
les
ordures
et
les
fleurs
There
are
heroes
in
the
seaweed
Il
y
a
des
héros
dans
les
algues
There
are
children
in
the
morning
Il
y
a
des
enfants
dans
le
matin
They
are
leaning
out
for
love
Ils
se
penchent
pour
l'amour
And
they
will
lean
that
way
forever
Et
ils
se
pencheront
ainsi
pour
toujours
While
Suzanne
holds
the
mirror
Alors
que
Suzanne
tient
le
miroir
And
you
want
to
travel
with
her
Et
tu
veux
voyager
avec
elle
And
you
want
to
travel
blind
Et
tu
veux
voyager
aveugle
And
you
know
that
you
can
trust
her
Et
tu
sais
que
tu
peux
lui
faire
confiance
For
she′s
touched
your
perfect
body
with
her
mind
Car
elle
a
touché
ton
corps
parfait
avec
son
esprit
