作词 : Paul Simon 作曲 : Paul Simon There once was a teacher of great renown Whose words were like tablets of stone "To navigate the sea of sadness To shield the fragile mind from madness Gather your goods and follow me As all around you perish”
Well I was only a child of the city My parents were children of immigrant stock So we followed as followers go Over the mountain with the 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
It’s cold It’s cold
Time and abundance thickened his step So the teacher divided in two One half ate the forests and the fields The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds And we like fools were amazed by the power of his appetite
Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars
It’s cold
All that remains of the follower's fate Are the remnants of chart photographs The teacher is buried under rubble stone And the wind reads his words at last
Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love Sleeps on a quilt of stars
