  • Words & music by paul simon
  • There once was a teacher of great renown
  • Whose words were like the tablets of stone
  • Because its easier to learn than unlearn
  • Because weve passed the point of no return
  • Gather your goods and follow me
  • Or you will surely die
  • Verse:
  • 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
  • Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love sleeps on a quilt of stars
  • Bridge:
  • Its cold
  • Sometimes you cant catch your breath
  • Its cold
  • Verse:
  • 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
  • Verse:
  • Sometimes we dont 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
