Teachers Lyrics

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 were sick and none was well,

When at night the Sisters left

I could not walk at all.

Some girls wander by mistake

Into the mess that scalpals make.

Are you the teachers of my heart

We teach old hearts to break.

A met a woman long ago
Her hair the black the black can go

Are you the teacher of the heart?

Soft she whispered, no

I met a girl across the sea,

Her hair the gold that gold could be.

Are you the teacher of the heart?

Yes, but not for thee.

I spent my hatred every place,
On every work, on every face

Is my passion perfect,

No! Do it once again.

Oh teachers are my lessons done?

I cannot do another one,

They laughed and laughed and laughed and said,

Child are your lessons done?

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
