Teachers Boxer (UK)

I met a woman long ago
Her hair as black as black can go
Are you the teacher of the heart?
Soft, she answered "No"

I met a man who lost his mind
In some dark place he tried to find
"Follow me" the wise man said
But he walked behind

I walked into a hospital
Where none were sick and none were well
When at night, the nurses left
I could not walk at all

Morning came and then came noon
Dinner time, a scalpel bladе
Lay beside my silver spoon

Somе girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teacher of the heart?
We teach old hearts to break

One morning, did wake up alone
The nursemaid gone, the hospital torn
Have I carved enough, my Lord?
Child, you're a bone
