Lyrics Big Country

Big Country

The Teacher

We talked and smoked all through the night

You led me where I had no sight

Till birdsong broke the morning light

And I was weak with strange delight

Teacher will you show to me

The bond between the land and sea

For I am new to mystery I want everything laid out for me

All of history

All of history

You showed me walls around the world

Where seekers passed and flags unfurled

You wove a tale in silken curls

And blew the mist in silver swirls

Teacher will you show to me

The bond between the land and sea

For I am new to mystery I want everything laid out for me

All of history

All of history

Teacher will you show to me

The bond between the land and sea

For I am new to mystery

I want everything laid out for me

All of history

All of history

All of history

All of history
