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

As a teenager, this song comforted me through lonely and desparate nights. It was like a blueprint for a life I was eager to live. One of love, adventure and connection. Now that I've attained these things, my sadness stems from loss. Still, I am in such a better and more hopeful place than when I first discovered this song. I am so grateful for that and for this man's incredible music.

I remember watching a documentary about a homeless man from Montreal who knew Leonard Cohen. This man ended up in the west of Canada, in Vancouver, and ultimately in a mental hospital. He needed cash for cigarettes or something, and told the nurses "please call my friend Leonard Cohen and ask him to send me some money". The nurses probably thought he was lying, but they called anyway. Leonard sent this guy some money! Not only was he a millionaire songwriter, but he had a huge heart, befriending someone who most of us wouldn't give a minute to. Thank you Leonard Cohen. You were a beautiful soul.

I was a 15 yo schoolboy from England, attending a summer sailing school at a small village in Bretagne, Francais when I first heard this song, beautifully sung by a French teen with a guitar. A year later my very first girlfriend and I would listen to the Songs of Leonard Cohen album all the time. Now, 50 years later and continents away I still cherish those times. Leonard has a special place in my heart. He touched my soul as a teenager and that has never left me.

Everything a man gets he gets from his own endeavours, he has built the world, he lays the bricks, quarries the stone, builds the machinery, builds the roads, digs for the oil, works the power stations, the list is endless. Women are passengers in that process and exploit the men, the man's lot is of endless burden. The woman's lot is to be looked after. We have as much flowery speech as we want, but it's her children not his and if you ever transgress or upset the woman, you will find this out. Men are exploited by women and that's why many of them are broken by middle age. And that is the truth

Absolutely. As I was telling my best friend the other day, we got more than "tea and oranges that come all the way from China.". Dude, we got our stimulus checks from China. They have the lowest interest rates at their banks on the planet. But Suzanne was probably the most poetic song to come out of the '60s, and that was a helluva poetic era. Having been a teenager then, I haven't seen anything like it since. Cohen and Dylan are still the top folk singers even today.

Cuz you know she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there. My favorite part of the song comes at the end when he starts, "the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor and she shows you where to look amidst the garbage and the flowers. THERE ARE HEROES IN THE SEAWEED, There are children in the morning and they are leaning ut for love and will lean that way forever while Suzanne holds the mirror." I love that part.

Heard this for the first time in many years recently on the way back from music practice. The combination of Leonard Cohen's deep, laid-back voice, his thoughtful guitar, the soft roar of the car engine, the trees and fields and farmhouses standing still in the last light of the June evening, the moon bright in the darkening east, and just a few slender stars visible, was a very special one. One of those moments to visit over and over again. I want to travel with him, I want to travel blind...

It is... because it was originally written and published as a poem titled "Suzanne Takes You Down" in 1966. The man was an acclaimed poet first and foremost and only accidentally a singer when others convinced him to make an album of his poetry. It's why his lyrics are so vivid and so beautiful.

@@fallonbeau1268 As Cohen himself put it, "”The song was begun, and the chord pattern was developed, before a woman's name entered the song. And I knew it was a song about Montreal, it seemed to come out of that landscape that I loved very much in Montreal, which was the harbour, and the waterfront, and the sailors' church there, called Notre Dame de Bon Secour, which stood out over the river, and I knew that there're ships going by, I knew that there was a harbour, I knew that there was Our Lady of the Harbour, which was the virgin on the church which stretched out her arms towards the seamen, and you can climb up to the tower and look out over the river, so the song came from that vision, from that view of the river."

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever 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 he 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 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 you think you maybe you'll trust him For he's touched your perfect body with her 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 wil lean that way forever While Suzanne holds her mirror And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind And you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

After I lost my wife in 2019, I found a "Suzanne" and she took me to places I had never been. Sadly it didnt work out and this song reminds me of her.
