Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river.
You can hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night beside her.
And you know she's half crazy,
But that's why you want to be there.
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China.
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
Then 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 know she will trust you,
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him,
He said: All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them.
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open,
Foresaken, 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 maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now 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 on our Lady of the Harbor.
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed,
There are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love,
They will lean that way forever,
While Suzanne holds the mirror.

And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
And you know you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

We zitten samen in de kamer
en de stereo staat zacht
en ik denk nu gaat ’t gebeuren,
hierop heb ik zo lang gewacht
niemand in huis de deur op slot
mijn avond kan niet meer kapot

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, ik ben stapelgek op jou

Ik leg mijn arm om haar schouders,
streel haar zachtjes door haar haar
ik kan het bijna niet geloven,
voorzichtig kussen wij elkaar
en opeens gaat de telefoon
en een vriendelijke stem
aan de andere kant van de lijn
verontschuldigt zich voor
't verkeerd verbonden zijn
en ik denk bij mezelf:
waarom nu, waarom ik, waarom

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, ik ben stapelgek op jou
(Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, hij is stapelgek op jou)

'k Ga maar weer opnieuw beginnen,
zoen haar teder in haar nek
maar de hartstocht is verdwenen,
en ze reageert zo gek
ze vraagt of er nog cola is
en ik denk: nu is het mis

We zitten nog steeds in de kamer,
met de stereo op tien
't zal nu wel niet meer gebeuren,
dus ik hou het voor gezien
ze zegt: ik denk dat ik maar ga
ze zegt: tot ziens en ik zeg: ja

Suzanne, Suzanne
Suzanne, ik ben stapelgek op jou
Ik ben stapelgek op jou

I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth
I took down your number
Looked up your address, Sue
And I was hopin' that maybe
You could love me, too
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
I'm gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
And then I'll jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
Gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere
Now I don't want to get too romantic
That's just not my way
But when I get my arms around you
I'm gonna rock you all the night
Gonna rock you all the day
Suzanne, you won't know it but I'll be behind you
Don't try and run away from me, little girl
Wherever you go I'll find you
And when you go to the pictures
And I know you do
Don't take no one with you
'Cause I'll be there, too
Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down to
her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then 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

with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him

Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky 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 maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among 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 the mirror
And you want to travel with her

She was the cutest girl I'd seen
With eyes so deep and colored green
It only took a look you see
When Suzanne had put a spell on me
It made me feel so high in ecstasy
Here I go, now you just got to know
The way I feel Suzanne
The way I feel Suzanne
I knew I couldn't try to move too fast
I know this time I had to make it last
The way she made me feel had got a hold on me
It was so unreal
The way she made me feel would never pass
Here I go, now you just got to know
The way I feel Suzanne
Here I go, now you just got to know
The way I feel Suzanne
The way I feel Suzanne
You make the sun shine in the day
Why do you make me feel this way
You make me wanna fly away
Far away
