[B]
You can hear the boats float [C#m] by You can spend the night forever
Beside her and [B]
you know she's half-crazy But that's why you wanna be there
[D#m]
She feeds you till you're old [E] and tired Move away from her and you'll never see her
She'll try to hide up [B]
just when you need her Now [C#m] you have grown up, you give up
[B]
She'll get you on the way there [C#m] She lives the real hard time
[B] That you've always been her lover
[D#m] You're gonna walk the travel river
[E] When you try to die, [B] you know that she will trust you
[F#] When you touch her, might take that [B] with you
Jesus was a sailor, they roamed among the water
[C#m] He spent a long time watching this lonely wooden tower
[B] When he looked, he said, the only diamond man could see him
He [D#m] said, all men are the same as [E] you see
She'll set them free, [B] if he himself is broken
Long [C#m] ago the sky was open, forsaken, [B] and the palm was human
He's [C#m] the same beneath your wisdom, [B] like a stone
And [D#m] you're gonna travel with him, [E] you're gonna travel blind
There's a thing that [B] maybe you can trust him
Cause [F#] he's touched all the perfect body with [B] his mind
Now, Susan, first your hand, then ease your down to the river
She's [C#m] wearing ragged feathers from Salvation Army counties
[B] And the sun goes down like honey on our day to day walk of harbor
[D#m]
She shines the red light between [E] the garbage and the flowers
[B] And there are heroes in the city, [C#m] and there are children in the [B] morning
They are leaning out for love, [C#m]
they will lean that way forever
[B] While Susan holds the mirror, [D#m] and you're going to travel with her
[E] You're gonna travel blind, [B] and you know that you can trust her
[F#] Cause she's touched all the perfect body [B] with her mind, with her mind
[N]
