  • Teachers
  • Leonard Cohen

  • I met a woman long ago
  • her hair the black that black can go,
  • Are you a teacher of the heart?
  • Soft she answered no.

  • I met a girl across the sea,
  • her hair the gold that gold can be,
  • Are you a teacher of the heart?
  • Yes, but not for thee.

  • 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 was sick and none was well,
  • when at night the nurses left
  • I could not walk at all.

  • Morning came and then came noon,
  • dinner time a scalpel blade
  • lay beside my silver spoon.

  • Some girls wander by mistake
  • into the mess that scalpels make.
  • Are you the teachers of my heart?
  • We teach old hearts to break.

  • One morning I woke up alone,
  • the hospital and the nurses gone.
  • Have I carved enough my Lord?
  • Child, you are a bone.

  • I ate and ate and ate,
  • no I did not miss a plate, well
  • How much do these suppers cost?
  • We'll take it out in hate.

  • I spent my hatred everyplace,
  • on every work on every face,
  • someone gave me wishes
  • and I wished for an embrace.

  • Several girls embraced me, then
  • I was embraced by men,
  • Is my passion perfect?
  • No, do it once again.

  • 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.

  • Who is it whom I address,
  • who takes down what I confess?
  • Are you the teachers of my heart?
  • We teach old hearts to rest.

  • Oh teachers are my lessons done?
  • I cannot do another one.
  • They laughed and laughed and said, Well child,
  • are your lessons done?
  • are your lessons done?
  • are your lessons done?
