To a Teacher
From the album Dear Heather
Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
Hurt once and for all into silence
ch]C[/ch
A long pain ending without a song to prove it
ch]F[/ch
Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,
ch]F[/ch
When you glinted in every eye the held-high
ch]C[/ch
razor, shivering every ram and son?
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
And now the silent loony bin, where
ch]C[/ch
The shadows live in the rafters like day-weary bats,
ch]F[/ch
Until the turning mind, a radar signal, lures them to exaggerate
ch]C[/ch
Mountain-size on the white stone wall
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Your tiny limp
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
How can I leave you in such a house?
ch]F[/ch
Are there no more saints and wizards to praise their ways with pupils,
ch]C[/ch
No more evil to stun with the slap of a wet red tongue?
ch]G[/ch
Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
ch]C[/ch
and rest because he had finally come?
ch]F[/ch
Let me cry help beside you, Teacher
ch]F[/ch
I have entered under this dark roof
ch]C[/ch
As fearlessly as an honoured son enters his father's house
