Paul Simon - The Teacher слова песни
Words & music by paul simonThere once was a teacher of great renownWhose words were like the tablets of stoneBecause its easier to learn than unlearnBecause weve passed the point of no returnGather your goods and follow meOr you will surely dieVerse:I was only a child of the cityMy parents were children of immigrant stockSo we followed as followers goOver a mountain with a napkin of snowAnd ate the berries and rootsThat grow along the timberlineDeeper and deeper the dreamer of love sleeps on a quilt of starsBridge:Its coldSometimes you cant catch your breathIts coldVerse:Time and abundance thickened his stepSo the teacher divided in twoOne half ate the forests and fieldsThe other half sucked all the moisture from the cloudsAnd we, we were amazed at the power of his appetiteDeeper and deeper the dreamer of love sleeps on a quilt of starsVerse:Sometimes we dont know who we areSometimes force overpowers us and we cryMy teacher carry me homeCarry me home my teacherCarry me homeCarry me home my teacherCarry me home
