[00:01.49] Teachers
[00:02.13] Leonard Cohen
[00:02.83]
[00:04.00]
[00:09.00]
[00:10.27] I met a woman long ago
[00:12.55] her hair the black that black can go,
[00:15.12] Are you a teacher of the heart?
[00:17.58] Soft she answered no.
[00:19.09]
[00:22.31] I met a girl across the sea,
[00:24.76] her hair the gold that gold can be,
[00:27.69] Are you a teacher of the heart?
[00:30.38] Yes, but not for thee.
[00:31.96]
[00:34.48] I met a man who lost his mind
[00:36.94] in some lost place I had to find,
[00:39.52] follow me the wise man said,
[00:42.38] but he walked behind.
[00:43.82]
[00:46.84] I walked into a hospital
[00:49.23] where none was sick and none was well,
[00:51.79] when at night the nurses left
[00:54.30] I could not walk at all.
[00:56.42]
[00:59.29] Morning came and then came noon,
[01:01.56] dinner time a scalpel blade
[01:03.86] lay beside my silver spoon.
[01:06.76]
[01:10.14] Some girls wander by mistake
[01:12.42] into the mess that scalpels make.
[01:14.81] Are you the teachers of my heart?
[01:17.17] We teach old hearts to break.
[01:19.34]
[01:22.15] One morning I woke up alone,
[01:24.43] the hospital and the nurses gone.
[01:27.10] Have I carved enough my Lord?
[01:29.55] Child, you are a bone.
[01:31.03]
[01:34.23] I ate and ate and ate,
[01:36.43] no I did not miss a plate, well
[01:39.23] How much do these suppers cost?
[01:41.58] We'll take it out in hate.
[01:43.56]
[01:46.46] I spent my hatred everyplace,
[01:48.97] on every work on every face,
[01:51.41] someone gave me wishes
[01:53.68] and I wished for an embrace.
[01:55.75]
[01:58.85] Several girls embraced me, then
[02:01.19] I was embraced by men,
[02:03.87] Is my passion perfect?
[02:05.69] No, do it once again.
[02:07.47]
[02:11.23] I was handsome I was strong,
[02:13.23] I knew the words of every song.
[02:15.65] Did my singing please you?
[02:17.72] No, the words you sang were wrong.
[02:19.68]
[02:23.34] Who is it whom I address,
[02:25.31] who takes down what I confess?
[02:27.68] Are you the teachers of my heart?
[02:30.07] We teach old hearts to rest.
[02:32.45]
[02:35.01] Oh teachers are my lessons done?
[02:37.19] I cannot do another one.
[02:39.57] They laughed and laughed and said, Well child,
[02:42.27] are your lessons done?
[02:46.10] are your lessons done?
[02:49.82] are your lessons done?
[02:57.00]
[02:58.00]
[03:00.00]
