Leonard Cohen - Teachers

Tekst :

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?

  • You have loved enough
  • Who by fire

  • On that day
  • In my secret life

    Someday

    As day goes by
    And fade tonight
    I still question
    Why you left
    I wonder how
    It didn t work out
    And now you re gone
    And memories all I have for now
    But now it s not over
    We ll get older we ll get over
    We ll live to see
    The day that I hope for
    Come back to me
    I...

    Heaven (I want you)

    When I look into your eyes,
    then I know that life s worth living,
    just without you,
    more or less,
    there s nothing left to tell.
    All the years we shared our time,
    all the things we had in common,
    all the crisis,...

    This war is ours (The guillotine part II)

    We have to find a better way
    Out of this tragedy
    As the battle rages on
    Blood Strikes the clabbered hood
    My ears they hurt like shit
    Great soldiers are dying
    What part is this alone
    You Shoot
    This war is ours
    This war is ours

    Yes, I will see you through the smoke and flames
    On the frontlines of war...

    Go head

    I was at the mall, and this girl passed me by
    so I like her booty she said hey boy
    That s when I made my move
    I jammed up and jammed re-over there by the baby shoe
    I said you got a chiled huh
