Members Tony Posted August 2, 2021 Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Suzanne by Leonard Cohen 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 And then you know that 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 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 then 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 and 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 then you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind Dead girl (a country song) by Dax Riggs, Acid Bath Dead girl There will never be another one that dreams like you Dead girl There will never be another one that screams like you When death sleeps, it dreams of you Delilah played the dead girl at the freak show She smiles like a ghost Like zombies eatin' dust in Mexico Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights She asked if it would hurt I smiled and said no The lie ran down my chin like embryo She smiles like a corpse Like zombies eatin' dust in Mexico Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights When death sleeps, it dreams of you Dead girl There will never be another one to look in your eyes Dead girl There will never be another one that bleeds like you I been dryin' in a dead age I been reekin' of the new plague The sound of the ocean is dead It's just the echo of the blood in your head Sister burn the temple And stand beneath the moon The sound of the ocean is dead It's just the echo of the blood in your head Burning your black flags Burning your black flags I been dryin' in a dead age I been reekin' of the new plague The sound of the ocean is dead It's just the echo of the blood in your head Sister burn the temple And stand beneath the moon The sound of the ocean is dead It's just the echo of the blood in your head Burning your black flags Burning your black flags Randy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
