Suzanne - Aretha Franklin

Suzanne takes you down

To her place by the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night

There forever

And you know that she’s half crazy

And that’s why you want to be there

She feeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And when you wanna tell her

That you have no love to give her

She gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

You’ve always been her lover

And you wanna travel with her

Ah, but you wanna travel blind

And you think maybe you trust her

For you’ve touched

Your perfect body with her mind

Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

He spent a long time watching

From a lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain

That only drowning men could see him

He said «All men shall be brothers

Then, until the sea shall free them»

But he himself was broken

Long before the sky would open

Forsaken and almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

But you wanna travel with him

But you wanna travel blind

And you think maybe you trust him

For he’s touched

Your perfect body with his mind

With his mind

With his mind

With his mind

Yes, he did

With his mind

Ooh, ooh

With his mind

Yeah, yeah, with

With his mind
