[00:10.30]There once was a teacher of great renown
[00:14.29]Whose words were like tablets of stone
[00:18.56]"To navigate the sea of sadness
[00:22.41]To shield the fragile mind from madness
[00:26.93]Gather your goods and follow me
[00:31.74]As all around you perish”
[00:35.28]
[00:38.30]Well I was only a child of the city
[00:43.16]My parents were children of immigrant stock
[00:47.82]So we followed as followers go
[00:51.58]Over the mountain with the napkin of snow
[00:55.65]And ate the berries and roots
[00:57.87]That grow along the timberline
[01:02.32]
[01:03.73]Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love
[01:07.88]Sleeps on a quilt of stars
[01:12.09]
[01:16.57]It’s cold
[01:20.53]It’s cold
[01:22.42]
[01:50.03]Time and abundance thickened his step
[01:54.36]So the teacher divided in two
[01:58.42]One half ate the forests and the fields
[02:02.42]The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds
[02:06.60]And we like fools were amazed by the power of his appetite
[02:14.32]
[02:23.72]Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love
[02:27.82]Sleeps on a quilt of stars
[02:32.67]
[02:35.57]It’s cold
[02:37.38]
[02:44.43]All that remains of the follower's fate
[02:48.35]Are the remnants of chart photographs
[02:53.17]The teacher is buried under rubble stone
[02:57.66]And the wind reads his words at last
[03:03.70]
[03:05.25]Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love
[03:09.10]Sleeps on a quilt of stars
[03:12.94]
