Teachers (老师) - Cass McCombs[00:00:00]
I met a woman long ago[00:00:14]
Her hair the black that black can go[00:00:18]
Are you the teacher of my heart[00:00:22]
Soft she answered no[00:00:25]
I met a woman of the sea[00:00:29]
Her hair is gold is gold can be[00:00:32]
Are you the teacher of the heart[00:00:36]
Yes but not for thee[00:00:40]
I met a man who lost his mind[00:00:44]
In some lost place I had to find[00:00:47]
Follow me the wise man said[00:00:51]
But he walked behind[00:00:55]
I walked into a hospital[00:00:58]
Where none was sick and none was well[00:01:02]
When at night the nurses left[00:01:06]
I could not walk at all[00:01:10]
Morning came and then came noon[00:01:14]
Dinner time a scalpel blade[00:01:17]
Lay beside my silver spoon[00:01:21]
Some girls wander by mistake[00:01:29]
Into the mess that scalpels make[00:01:32]
Are you the teachers of my heart[00:01:36]
We teach old hearts to break[00:01:40]
One morning I woke up alone[00:01:44]
The hospital and the nurses gone[00:01:47]
Have I carved enough my lord[00:01:51]
Child you are a bone[00:01:55]
I ate and ate and ate[00:01:59]
No I didn't miss a plate well[00:02:01]
How much do these suppers cost[00:02:06]
We'll take it out in hate[00:02:10]
I spent my hatred everyplace[00:02:13]
On every work on every face[00:02:17]
Someone gave me wishes[00:02:21]
And I wished for an embrace[00:02:24]
Several girls embraced me then[00:02:29]
Then I was embraced by men[00:02:33]
Is my passion perfect[00:02:37]
No do it once again[00:02:39]
I was handsome I was strong[00:02:44]
I knew the words of every song[00:02:48]
Did my singing please you[00:02:52]
No the words you sang were wrong[00:02:54]
Who is it whom I address[00:02:59]
Who takes down what I confess[00:03:03]
Are you the teachers of my heart[00:03:07]
We teach old hearts to rest[00:03:10]
Oh teachers are my lessons done[00:03:14]
I cannot do another one[00:03:18]
They laughed and laughed and said well child[00:03:21]
Are your lessons done[00:03:26]
