SUZANNE (1955) - 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,
