Oh since my teacher died I am a student now Of whom i cannot tell Of what i cannot tell I read his books for years I've gone all through them how I wanted one last fix But he's not writing now My teacher died I was sorry But i wasn't sorry The night we said goodbye I felt a crumbling school My skin was sensitized To air that rushed in cool My teacher's eyes were gentle As any man's have been There are no superstars There is no superman There's only everyone I learn from whom i can My teacher died I was sorry But i wasn't sorry My teacher died And i'm a student now Of whom i cannot tell Of what i cannot tell
