[al: Dear Heather]
[ti: To A Teacher]
[length: 02:33]
[00:08.05]Hurt once and for all into silence
[00:12.58]A long pain ending without a song to prove it
[00:18.83]Who could stand beside you so close to Eden
[00:22.59]When you glinted in every eye the held-high
[00:27.05]Razor, shivering every ram and son?
[00:34.26]And now the silent loony bin
[00:37.51]Where the shadows live in the rafters
[00:39.78]Like day-weary bats
[00:42.97]Until the turning mind, a radar signal
[00:46.19]Lures them to exaggerate mountain-size
[00:50.72]On the white stone wall
[00:53.80]Your tiny limp
[01:00.12]How can I leave you in such a house?
[01:03.79]Are there no more saints and wizards
[01:06.56]To praise their ways with pupils
[01:08.52]No more evil to stun with the slap
[01:11.93]Of a wet red tongue?
[01:16.65]Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
[01:21.31]And rest because he had finally come?
[01:30.61]Let me cry help beside you, Teacher
[01:34.44]I have entered under this dark roof
[01:38.10]As fearlessly as an honoured son
[01:41.44]Enters his father’s house
