Some more Leonard Cohen
'cause I'm in the mood.
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,
Dinnertime 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.
