She takes you down
To a place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
Spend the night forever
You know she's half crazy
But thats why you wanna be there
She feeds you tea and gin that comes all the way from China
And then just when you wanna tell her
You have no love to give her
She gets you on the wave
And lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
You wanna travel with her
You wanna travel blind
But you think maybe you'll trust her
Shes touched your perfect body with her mind
Jesus was a sailor
When he walked on the waters
He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
When he knew for certain
That only drowning could see him
He said
"All men shall be sailor then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
He was forsaken, almost human
He sang beneath your wisdom like a storm
But you wanna travel with him
You wanna travel blind
But you think maybe you'll trust him
He's touched your perfect body with him mind
She takes you down to the place
By the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From salvations army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of your harbor
And she shows you wear to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers
There are hero's in the river
Children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
They will lean that way forever
While she holds the mirror
You wanna travel with her
You wanna travel blind
But you think maybe you'll trust her
Shes touched your perfect body with her mind
You wanna travel with her
