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 that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

I was there, aged 16. Leonard's set was the final act in a very late-running programme. It was around 4am on a cold late-August night. The atmosphere was entirely appropriate for an artist whose music was always well suited for late-night listening. A very memorable experience which has stayed with me until this day.

I was there too. Nearing 80 now. Thanks for bringing back this memory. And thanks Leonard for such haunting songs.

I was stunned when I first watched this concert years and years later. 4am and out walked a man wearing a jacket over his pyjamas ..... and floored everybody

You know you are not wasting your time while listening to a L.Cohen song. Poetry, philosophy, & a divine music to accompany it. One of the greatest who ever penned a song. Each word is deep and existential.

How can these 336 people with an unlike have a soul? Pure poetry.

😭😭😭Love your songs, but today they make me cry

YouTube is the best thing on the internet. Period. The ability in a click to to be part of another reality. We are blessed.

This is one of the first songs I ever learned on the guitar when I was 14. My elder sister, RIP, taught it to me. Maybe she can sing it with Leonard now. :)

This song in particular takes me back to the summer of 1970 when I lived in a commune in Toronto. One of the fellows in the house was crazy about Leonard and played his music constantly it seemed. It reminds me of sunny, warm summer days and cool summer evenings in our house when we always seemed to have a gathering of people there. Sitting around cross-legged on the hardwood floor sharing smoke in friendship and social closeness. It's a fond memory and I cherish and visit it often, wondering how everyone's lives turned out. . . ;) "Chris" & Fraser

This has to be one if, not the greatest song ever written.

Ich hoffe das er da Oben gut angekommen ist.Das er da auch so tolle Songs schreibt und den Engeln zeigt wo die Musik ist.Ich bin mit ihm groß geworden.

Leonard Cohen was off my radar until his death. Since then I have listened to little else. A haunting voice and beautiful lyrics. He should be remembered for a long time.

My father ( now 74 years old) was at Isle of Wight in 1970 , listening to this great singer for the first time: really a wonderful surprise for him, who since then loved Leonard Cohen very much. He usually likes to sing L. Cohen's songs with my mother driving the car. So long, Leonard, thank you for all the feeling and emotions you have given to my parents for all their life.

Brought up on LC. 50 this year and still an integral part of my listening. An absolute genius...

Encore merci pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2023 comme en 1967. 56 ans et pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) !

Mr Cohen saved my life 5 years ago.. If they hadn't played famous blue raincoat on the radio that night. I wouldn't have been here today. Thank you for your fantastic voice and poetry. You're my hero.
