Leonard Cohen
To A Teacher

Hurt once and for all into silence.
A long pain ending without a song to prove it.
Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,
When you glinted in every eye
The held-high razor, shivering every ram and son?
And now the silent loony bin,
Where the shadows live in the rafters
Like day-weary bats,
Until the turning mind, a radar signal,
Lures them to exaggerate
Mountain-size on the white stone wall
Your tiny limp.
How can I leave you in such a house?
Are there no more saints and wizards
To praise their ways with pupils,
No more evil to stun with the slap
Of a wet red tongue?
Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
And rest because he had finally come?
Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.
I have entered under this dark roof
As fearlessly as an honoured son
Enters his father's house.


Mirror lyrics:

Enters his father's house.
As fearlessly as an honoured son
I have entered under this dark roof
Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.
And rest because he had finally come?
Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
Of a wet red tongue?
No more evil to stun with the slap
To praise their ways with pupils,
Are there no more saints and wizards
How can I leave you in such a house?
Your tiny limp.
Mountain-size on the white stone wall
Lures them to exaggerate
Until the turning mind, a radar signal,
Like day-weary bats,
Where the shadows live in the rafters
And now the silent loony bin,
The held-high razor, shivering every ram and son?
When you glinted in every eye
Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,
A long pain ending without a song to prove it.
Hurt once and for all into silence.
