The Teacher Songtext
von Rona Kenan

You were the teacher and you were the course
You were the jockey and you were the horse
You gave me nothing but a grief and a song
A con woman, here and than gone

You were a secret locked in my hand
You were the hourglass, you were the sand
You were that darkness right before dawn
I once knew you, here and than gone

So many days lost in a dream
Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen
So many nights caught in your net
Losing my beat to a dizzy duet
36 months to forget


I waited for you like thunder at night
With flashes and fever of fear and delight
But you gave me nothing but a grief and a song
A con woman, here and than gone

So many days lost in a dream
Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen
So many nights caught in your net
Losing my beat to a dizzy duet
36 months, 36 months to forget

So many days lost in a dream
Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen
So many nights caught in your net
Losing my beat to a dizzy duet
36 months to forget
It took me 36 months to forget
