paroles de chanson Suzanne - Live - Harry Belafonte

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she′s half crazy
That's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That came all the way from China

And just when you wanna tell her
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 you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think you'll maybe trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Jesus was a sailor
And He walked upon the water
He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He said, "All men shall be sailors
Then, until the sea shall free them"

But He Himself was broken
Long before the skies 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 you′ll maybe trust Him
For He′s touched your perfect body with His mind

Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the Sun pours down like honey
Upon our lady of the harbor

And she′ll show you where to look
Amid 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 her mirror

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you will trust her
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind
