The Teacher (2018)

[Verse 1] There once was a teacher of great renown Whose words were like the tablets of stone To navigate the sea of sadness To shield the fragile mind from madness Gather your goods and follow me As all around you perish [Verse 2] Well, I was only a child of the city My parents were children of immigrant stock So we followed as followers go Over the mountain with a napkin of snow And ate the berries and roots that grow Along the timberline [Chorus] Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars It's cold It’s cold [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] Time and abundance thickened his step So the teacher divided in two One half ate the forest and fields The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds And we like fools were amazed by the power of his appetite [Chorus] Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars It's cold [Verse 4] All that remains of the followers' fate Are the remnants of charred photographs The teacher is buried under rubble stone And the wind reads his words, and it laughs [Chorus] Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars [Saxophone Solo]
