[Verse 1]
[C][Dedicated to A. M. Klein
(1909- 1972)]

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