Suzanne
Françoise Hardy
Suzanne
Suzanne takes you
To listen to the sirens
She takes you by the hand
To spend a never-ending night
You know she's half crazy
That's why you want to stay
On a silver platter
She serves you jasmine tea
And when you would like to tell her
You have no love for her
She calls you in her waves
And lets the sea answer
That you have always loved her
You want to stay by her side
Now, you're not afraid to travel
With eyes closed
A flame burns in your heart
He was a sinner
Who came to the earth
And watched for a long time
From the top of a lonely tower
When he realized
That only lost men saw him
He said we would sail
Until the waves set us free
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky opened
Abandoned and almost a man
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone
You want to stay by her side
Now, you're not afraid to travel
With eyes closed
A flame burns in your heart
Suzanne takes you
To listen to the sirens
She takes you by the hand
To spend a never-ending night
Like honey, the sun flows
Over Our Lady of Sorrows
She shows you where to look
Among the waste and the flowers
In the seaweed there are dreams
Of children, in the early morning
Leaning towards love
They lean like that, always
And Suzanne holds the mirror
You want to stay by her side
Now, you're not afraid to travel
With eyes closed
A strange wound in the heart.
