Strange Teacher

Rainbow, rainbow, doing what you know

None of us can tell you what to do or when to show

Sunset, sunset, wipes the rainbow clean

And makes the loudest noise I've ever seen

You can turn me into that

Teacher, teacher, I'm old enough to learn

You told me that the rainbow never speaks before its turn

Stranger, stranger, tell me what you see

When I look in the mirror I see myself so differently

You can turn me into that

You return me to another time

When I was a crewman on a Syrian line

Once in a while your laugh would reach me across a

thousand ocean miles
