Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
with frozen faces to keep love away
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.

Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.

Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

I get along without you very well
I get along without you very well
I get along without you very well, of course I do;
Except when soft rains fall and drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms, of course I do.
But I get along without you very well.

I've forgotten you, just like I should, of course I have;
Except when I hear your name, someone's laugh, it's just the same.
But I've forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy! What a fool am I
To think my ached heart could keep the moon.
What's in store? Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune.

I said, that I get along without you very well, of course I do;
Except perhaps in spring...but then I should never ever think of spring,
For that would surely break my heart in two.

Because I have loved so deeply
Because I have loved so deeply
Because I have loved so deeply,
Because I have loved so long,
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song.

Because I have loved so vainly,
And sung with such faltering breath,
The Master in infinite mercy
Offers the boon of Death.

Seems I'm never tired of loving you
Seems I'm never tired of loving you
Seems I'm never tired of loving you
Darling, you're always needed
And your tenderness is needed too
And it seems that I'm never tired
loving you
Never was a feeling stronger
Aching for the sweet things you do
And it seems that I'm never tired loving you
Should the mountains crumble to ashes
And the rain should cease to fall
And if the river stopped its flowing
You'd still be my all in all
And if the clouds cover the sky
So the sunlight won't come through
Then I will never, never, never, never, never,
never, tired loving you

Suzanne
Suzanne
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.
