Verse 1
(C major) [Dedicated to A. M. Klein
(1909- 1972)]
Verse 2
Hurt once and for all into silence. (C major)
A long (E flat major) pain (C major) ending without
a song to prove it.
Who could stand (D minor) be (F major) side you
so close to Eden,
When you (D minor) glinted in every (C major)
eye the held- high
Razor, (F major) shivering every ram
and son? (C major)
And now the silent loony bin,
where
The shadows live in the rafters like
Day- weary bats, (F major)
Until the turning mind, a radar (D minor) (C major) signal, (F major)
Lures them (C major) to exaggerate
Mountain- size (B flat major) on the white (C major) stone wall (G major)
Your tiny limp. (C major)
How can (D minor) I leave (F major) you in such a house?
Are there no (D minor) more saint (F major)
s and (D minor) wiz ards
To praise their ways with pupils,
No more evil (C major) to stun with the slap
Of a wet red tongue? (G major)
Did you confuse the
Messiah (C major) in a mirror (G major)
And rest because he had finally come? (C major)
Let me cry (F major) Help beside you, Teacher.
(D minor) I have entered under this dark roof (F major)
As (C major) fearlessly as an honoured son
Enters (G major) (C major) his father's house.
