I met a woman long ago |
![]() ![]() |
Her hair the black that black can go |
![]() ![]() |
Are you a teacher of the heart? |
![]() |
Soft she answered no |
![]() ![]() |
I met a girl across the sea |
![]() ![]() |
Her hair the gold that gold can be |
![]() ![]() |
Are you a teacher of the heart? |
![]() |
Yes, but not for thee |
![]() ![]() |
I met a man who lost his mind |
![]() ![]() |
In some lost place I had to find |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Follow me the wise man said |
![]() |
But he walked behind |
![]() ![]() |
I walked into a hospital |
![]() ![]() |
Where none was sick and none was well |
![]() ![]() |
When at night the nurses left |
![]() |
I could not walk at all |
![]() ![]() |
Morning came and then came noon |
![]() ![]() |
Dinner time a scalpel blade |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Lay beside my silver spoon |
![]() ![]() |
Some girls wander by mistake |
![]() ![]() |
Into the mess that scalpels make |
![]() ![]() |
Are you the teachers of my heart? |
![]() |
We teach old hearts to break |
![]() ![]() |
One morning I woke up alone |
![]() ![]() |
The hospital and the nurses gone |
![]() ![]() |
Have I carved enough my Lord? |
![]() |
Child, you are a bone |
![]() ![]() |
I ate and ate and ate |
![]() ![]() |
No I did not miss a plate, well |
![]() ![]() |
How much do these suppers cost? |
![]() |
We'll take it out in hate |
![]() ![]() |
I spent my hatred everyplace |
![]() ![]() |
On every work on every face |
![]() ![]() |
Someone gave me wishes |
![]() |
And I wished for an embrace |
![]() ![]() |
Several girls embraced me |
![]() ![]() |
Then I was embraced by men |
![]() ![]() |
Is my passion perfect? |
![]() |
No, do it once again |
![]() ![]() |
I was handsome, I was strong |
![]() ![]() |
I knew the words of every song |
![]() ![]() |
Did my singing please you? |
![]() |
No, the words you sang were wrong |
![]() ![]() |
Who is it whom I address |
![]() ![]() |
Who takes down what I confess? |
![]() ![]() |
Are you the teachers of my heart? |
![]() |
We teach old hearts to rest |

Oh teachers are my lessons done? |
![]() ![]() |
I cannot do another one |
![]() ![]() |
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child |
![]() |
Are your lessons done? |
![]() |
Are your lessons done? |
![]() |
Are your lessons done? |
