The School of Love,


Teach me your love so I can be sad
I've been in need for ages for a woman to make me sad
For a women for me to cry in her arms like a sparrow
Teach me your love so I can be sad
I've been in need for ages for a woman to make me sad
For a women for me to cry in her arms like a sparrow
For a woman to gather my pieces like shards of broken crystal
Teach me your love milady my worst habits
Teach me to open my cup at night a thousand times
And test the medecine of perfumes and knock on the door of Iraq
Teach me to leave my house to comb the sidewalks
And follow your face with the rains and in the headlights of cars
And the light of your eyes is millions of stars
Oh woman you made the world dizzy oh my pain
Put your love in me milady cities of sadness
While I did not enter cities of sadness from your heart
I didn't ever know that tears are man
That man without sadness is a memory of a man
Teach me your love so I can behave like a child
So I can draw your face with chalk on the walls
Oh woman you upturned my history and I've been slaughtered by you
From artery to artery
Teach me your love, how can love change the map of time?
Teach me, when I love the Earth will stop turning
Teach me your love, things that were never expected
And I read childrens stories and entered the castles of the kings of the Jinn
And I dreamed that the sultan's daughter would marry me
Her eyes were clearer than the water of the gulfs
Her lips were more crimson than pomegranate blossoms
And I dreamed that I took her like a knight
And I dreamed that I gave her bracelets of pearl and coral
Teach me your love milady oh the delirium
Teach me how to pass the years without the coming of the sultan's daughter
Put your love in me milady cities of sadness
While I did not enter cities of sadness from your heart
I didn't ever know that tears are man
That man without sadness is a memory of a man
