Suzanne
I see your face at the movies
I hear your voice on the radio
Youre makin love on the silver screen
I want you more, I know
Temptation...infatuation...
Suzanne, dont walk away
On no suzanne, oh girl Im callin you
Suzanne, so far away
Remember suzanne, those summer nights with me
I wonder if youre really happy
And if you saw me, would you know my name
Im the one you used to hold on to
Youre the one who used to wear my ring
Remember...our last september...
Oh suzanne, dont walk away
On no suzanne, oh girl Im callin you
Suzanne, so far away
Remember suzanne, those summer nights with me
Remember...our last september...
Suzanne, so far away
Remember suzanne, those summer nights with me
Suzanne, dont walk away, I love you suzanne
Im still callin you
Suzanne...no no no no no remember
Those summer nights with me, those summer nights

Sorry Suzanne
(Geoff Stephens/Tony Macauley)
Single release february 1969
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.
I could never ever justify
all the tears I've made you cry
but I do regret it, my Suzanne
You gotta believe me
I was looking round for someone new
what a foolish thing to do
all the time I knew it
heaven knows what made me do it girl
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me
{Interlude}
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.
If you would only take me back again
things would be so different then
what I wouldn't give for
one more chance to live for you Suzanne.
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.

Suzanne
(when things get hot) oh my love
(when things get hot) I know you like the heat
(when things get hot) when things get much too much
(when things get hot)
So tell me why do you always run from me baby, like you do
Cause where theres smoke theres fire
I tell you love will never stay
When youre playing the games you play
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne
(when things get hot) oh my love
(when things get hot) do you keep your cool?
(when things get hot) things get too hot to touch
(when things get hot)
So tell me what are you holding out for now baby, like you do
Im walking on that wire
How can I get through, there must be something more than I can do
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne
I see the look in your eyes,
I dont know why you fight it
You work so hard to deny, its crazy
Why do you play it safe
Baby wake up and have some faith
Baby I tell you true all the love will come back to you
Suzanne, this cant be all there is to this
Suzanne, Ill give so much to you if you dont resist
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne

Suzanne
she was the cutest girl I'd seen
with eyes so deep and colored green
it only took a look you see
when Suzanne had put a spell on me
it made me feel so high in ecstasy
here I go, now you just got to know
the way I feel Suzanne
I knew I couldn't try to move too fast
I know this time I have to make it last
the way she made me feel had got
a hold of me was so unreal
the way she made me feel would never pass
you make the sun shine in the day
why do you make me feel this way
you make me wanna fly away
far away
here I go, now you just got to know
the way I feel Suzanne
here I go, now you just got to know
the way I feel Suzanne

Suzanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child, make me blush, drive me wild
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted
When I met you I was all alone
Cold and hungry cryin' on the phone
You baked me brownies and said, 'Don't you cry'
And gave me the coat off your back
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child, make me blush, drive me wild
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted
Even Izzy, Slash and Axl Rose
When I call, you put 'em all on hold
And say to me that you'd do anything
And all I can do is say that
I haven't much I can give you in return
Only my heart and a promise not to turn
But I sing to you every day and every night
Suzanne, I'm your man
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child, make me blush, drive me wild
Suzanne, you're all that I wanted
Of a girl

Suzanne & The Jewels
Suzanne was the jewel keeper
In a word she stole all the jewels
And she took them to a foreign land
Which was strictly against all the rules
And she wore them all proudly
Like a tiara crown on her head
She slept with them at night
Suzanne and the jewels in a bed
Chorus:
Suzanne and her jewels
Livin on the edge of a friend
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
When they take that crown from your head?
Suzanne lived down by the river
The fountain of youth did flow
And she played on a steel guitar
And the drifters did come and theyd go
And shed put on her crown
And shed sing them a song
And some drifters would stay here the night
But they never did stay long
Chorus:
Suzanne and her jewels
Livin on the edge of a friend
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
When they take that crown from your head?
This girl flew on the wind
She wrote her own name in the stars
Just goes to show sometimes you win
No matter how crazy you are
But a thief can come knocking
Even with blood on the door
And drink up your fountain of youth
And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor
Chorus:
Suzanne and her jewels
Livin on the edge of a friend
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
When they take that crown from your head?
Suzanne and her jewels
Livin on the edge of a friend
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
When they take that crown off your head?

Oh, Susannah
Well I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
And Im bound for louisiana, my own true love for to see
It did rain all night the day I left
The weather was bone dry
The sun was so hot I froze myself
Suzanne, dont you go on and cry
I said, oh, suzannah
Now, dont you cry for me
As I come from alabama with this banjo on my knee
Well I had myself a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed that I saw my girl suzanne
She was coming around the hill
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
I said, that I come from dixie land
Suzanne, dont you break down and cry
I said, oh, suzannah
Now, dont you cry for me
cause I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee

Chanson, suzanne
Im just a man
Please let me
Sing my song
Its been ten years
Since I met you
And I first held your hand
My suzanne
That summer night
We dreamed of
Days to come
I held you there
Beside me
We carved the wishing tree
And then
We played the part of lovers
On that summer night
We played the part of lovers
You gave all your love and you made it seem right
You made me a man oh so young in my life
One simple verse
Like the words in a play
You spoke your lines
And I knew I must stay
Oh I must stay
Now we are free
And we are growing old
The wishing tree still stands there
And shades our memories
Of when
We played the part of lovers
On that summer night
We played the part of lovers
You gave all your love and you made it seem right
You made me a man oh so young in my life

Taken from the o.s.t. falling from grace and starring john mellencamp and mariel hemingway and john prine. the song was written by john mellencamp and sung by the buzzin cousi
Ot; (john prine, john mellencamp, dwight yoakam, ):
Now, right now, look at the place Im in
When I think about things that I could have done
Its impossible for me to pretend
Chorus
But I see it now as the lights grow dim
And the world starts to close its eyes
I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
I hear the music playing, but I no longer understand
Around the corner, down the street
Its got to better than where I am
Repeat chorus
I just wanted to say goodnight
Just wanted to see if everything was all right
Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
Time goes by, oh so quietly
Hazy days and memories
And in the end there was only me
Wouldnt have been, I ask sometimes
But I see myself inside this rhyme
Enjoyed what I had back then
Would I do it again?
Well I see it now, as the light grows dim
I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
I just wanted to say goodnight
I just wanted to seee if everythings all right
Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne

I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth
I took down your number
Looked up your address, sue
And I was hopin that maybe
You could love me, too
Im gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
Im gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
And then Ill jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
Gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere
Now I dont want to get too romantic
Thats just not my way
But when I get my arms around you
Im gonna rock you all the night
Gonna rock you all the day
Suzanne, you wont know it but Ill be behind you
Dont try and run away from me, little girl
Wherever you go Ill find you
And when you go to the pictures
And I know you do
Dont take no one with you
cause Ill be there, too

Suzanne takes you dow-own
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know the girl's half-crazy
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 want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover-er
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watchin'
From a lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only-y drownin' men could see him
He said all men are sailors, then
Until the sea shall free them
Bu-ut he, himself, was broken
Long before the sky would ope-en
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a sto-o-one
And you wanna travel with him
Ahh you wanna travel bli-ind
And you-ou think that you might trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
And you can hear the boats that go by
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
On Ou-our Lady of the Harbour
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morni-ing
They are leanin' out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds her mirror

Summer Nights
Girl it always seems about september
Thats the time, again I remember the lights
And all the fun of those summer nights
Young and innocent and livin fast
Didnt know enough to know
That a summer love cant last
Cant last
*(do you remember those)
Summer nights all night
Dancin in the light of love
(dancin in the light of love)
Summer nights so right
Couldnt last beyond september
Summer nights all night
Livin for your love,
Dreamin only of
You and summer nights*
I remember playin by the shoreline
Before the fall when we had it all at our fingertips
Buildin castles in the driftin sand
Raced the waves as they ran to the shore
But the tides were turned for ever more
And the things we planned
Were castles made of sand
( * repeat)
Oooh summer nights
We were diamonds in the rough in the moonlight
Oooh summer nights
Now Im out in the cold again
Back on my own again
(well I remember those)
Summer nights...

With My Imperfect Mind
With my imperfect mind I touch
her body, and she’s satisfied
because I love her very much,
and never ever tried to hide
my imperfections. Since she travels,
it appears to me, half blind,
when my state of mind unravels
she remains to me inclined,
leaning with her body to
my own which is less perfect than
the one her excercises hew
to make me of her flesh a fan,
and turn her place into a river
where I can steer her like a boat,
and, while I’m standing, can deliver
the love I in my poems wrote.
Inspired by 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 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
