The Sisters Of Mercy - Teachers lyrics

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 were sick and none was well When at night the Sisters left I could not walk at all Some girls wander by mistake Into the mess that scalpals make Are you the teachers of my heart We teach old hearts to break A met a woman long ago Her hair the black the black can go Are you the teacher of the heart? Soft she whispered, no I met a girl across the sea Her hair the gold that gold could be Are you the teacher of the heart? Yes, but not for thee I spent my hatred every place On every work, on every face Is my pa**ion perfect No! Do it once again Oh teachers are my lessons done? I cannot do another one They laughed and laughed and laughed and said Child are your lessons done? 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
