She says she works at the cafe on the corner
I know it's true because I've seen her there
She walks to work early every morning
She wears a silver ribbon in her hair
You smile like the summer breeze Suzannah
Dancing like that ribbon in your hair
And I hope someday you'll see Suzannah
There's more to living than this city air
On Wednesday's she gets off at 2:30
I know because I saw her yesterday
I called her name but she didn't hear me
I had finally got the nerve to say...
Passing by the cafe early evening
Summer sun is stretching out the light
Caught her eye just as she was leaving
"I'd like to walk you home if that's alright"
We caught a bus just four blocks from the cafe
Got off at the last stop on the route
Sun's about to sink into the valley
"Hurry" she says "it's not much longer now"
Sitting on a bluff above the river
Half a moon is hanging in the sky
She unties the ribbon sun is golden in her hair
Evening dancing beauty in her eyes
You smile like the summer breeze Suzannah
Dancing like the sun across the sky
Life and love can be so funny Suzannah
Let me hold your silver ribbon for a while
