Suzanne
Suzanne takes you,
to a bench on the water,
a thousand ships pass by
and it turns out but not later,
and you know she's your fool,
because that's why you sit next to her
and she gives you mints,
because she likes to give you something tangible
and just when you want to say to her:
'I can't give you any love'
the whole city comes alive and you hear
your seagulls screaming,
you're always thinking held her,
and you want to go with her,
to the other side together
and you have to trust her,
because she holds all your thoughts in her hand
and Jesus was a fisherman,
who trusted the water so much,
that He just walked on the sea,
because He had learned to love
the waves and the surf,
where no one can drown,
He said: 'If one continues to believe,
the heaviest stone cannot sink'.
But the heavens did not open until His body was broken
and how He suffered,
only the Fisherman on the cross knows
and you want to go with Him,
to the other side together
and you have to trust Him, because He holds all your thoughts in His hand.
Suzanne takes you,
to a bench by the water,
you remember what she is looking at ,
as a reminder for later
and the sunlight looks like honey,
which children feast on
and the lawn is littered with what the
people throw away ,
in the gutter lie the heroes,
with a smile on their lips
and the seagulls in the sky,
look like lost dots,
as Suzanne smiles at you looks at you
and you want to go with her,
to the other side together
and you have to trust her,
because she holds all your thoughts in her hand.
