歌曲名 To a Teacher

歌手名 Leonard Cohen

作词：Leonard Cohen

作曲：Leonard Cohen

Hurt once and for all into silence

A long pain ending

Without a song to prove it

Who could stand

Beside you so close to Eden

When you glinted in every

Eye the held-high

Razor shivering every ram and son

And now the silent loony bin where

The shadows live in the rafters like

Day-weary bats

Until the turning mind a radar signal

Lures them to exaggerate

Mountain-size on the white stone wall

Your tiny limp

How can I leave you in such a house

Are there no more saints and wizards

To praise their ways with pupils

No more evil to stun with the slap

Of a wet red tongue

Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror

And rest because he had finally come

Let me cry Help beside you Teacher

I have entered under this dark roof

As fearlessly as an honoured son

Enters his father's house
