Note that weird time signature!
Capo 3
Dm
There once was a teacher of great renown
Dm A
Whose words were like the tablets of stone
Dm Gm Bb A
Because it´s easier to learn than unlearn
Dm Gm Bb A
Because we´ve passed the point of no return
Dm Gm Bb A
Gather your goods and follow me
Dm
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 grow along the timberline
Gm C F A Dm Gm A
Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love sleeps on a quilt of stars
Dm Bb A
A Dm
It´s cold
Dm Bb A
Sometimes you can´t catch your breath
A Dm
It´s cold
Time and abundance thickened his step
So the teacher divided in two
One half ate the forests 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
Dm Bb A
Dm Bb A
Sometimes we don´t know who we are
Dm Bb A Dm
Sometimes force overpowers us and we cry
Dm
My teacher carry me home
Carry me home my teacher
Carry me home
Carry me home my teacher
Carry me home
