There once was a teacher of great renown Whose words were like the tablets of stone Because it's easier to learn than unlearn Because we've passed the point of no return Gather your goods and follow me Or you will surely die I was only a child of the city My parents were children of immigrant stock So we followed as followers go Over a mountain with a napkin of snow And ate the berries and roots That grown along the timberline Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleep on a quilt of stars It's cold Sometimes you can't catch your breath It's so cold 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, we were amazed at the power of his appetite Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars Sometimes we don't know who we are Sometimes force overpowers us and we cry My teacher carry me home Carry me home my teacher Carry me home Carry me home my teacher Carry me home

The yellow walls are lined with portraits And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel like picking up roses There's never been such grave a matter As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes The green autumnal parks conducting And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing All these poses, oh, how can you blame me? Life is a game and true love is a trophy And you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding Reclined amongst these packs of reasons For to smokes the days away into the evenings All these poses of classical torture Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard I did go from wanting to be someone now I'm drunk and wearing flip, flops on Fifth Avenue Once you've fallen from classical virtue Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you In the green autumnal parks conducting All the city streets a wondrous chorus Singing all these poses now no longer boyish Made me a man now but who cares what that is? And you said watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, well you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding

You walk alone in the valley of life In the shadow of love Under the trees of happiness You walk alone like a baby unborn Like a father unknown Like a pocket penniless I'm happy that you really care But do you really know how scary This is for you and is for me Oh, do you really know? Do you really know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha for you I sit alone on the cozy ground floor On a bench by the garden waiting also Waiting for love And thinking of all of The catty remarks I also swallow And as I've often asked before Does anybody know, know how scary This is for you and is for me? Does anybody know, anybody know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha

One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad wearing a kimono And see your other dad pruning roses Hope you won't turn around and go One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad playing the piano And see your other dad wearing glasses Hope that you will want to stay for a while Don't worry, I know you'll have to go One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad trying to be funny And see your other dad seeing through me Hope that you will protect your dad One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad trying to be evil And see your other dad feeling lonely Hope that you will protect him and stay Don't worry, I know you'll have to go One day, years ago in Montauk Lived a woman, now a shadow There she does wait for us in the ocean And although we want to stay for a while Don't worry we all have to go One day you will come to Montauk
