The Hands Of A Teacher Lyrics - Death Of A Dictionary - Live

Optimism, 

Optimism perished from the face of my earth 

And then you came along, came along and swept me away, 

She kissed me, as we stood on the edge, 

The night made the day as we made for the bridge 

It started raining hard, and I saw we may live to regret 

No I never really understood 

No I never really understood why, 

Because I've never been given, 

Never been given two tries, 

No I never really understood, 

Understood why...

Pessimism, 

Pessimism perished from the face of my earth, 

And then you came along, came along and swept me away, 

Did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked 

Through the pain, attached the chain so you could 

See me again 

I started asking myself, did I teach you right? 

No I never really understood 

No I never really understood why, 

Because I've never been given, 

Never been given two tries, 

No I never really understood, 

Understood why... 

Understood why... 

You came to me, you broke the bonds, 

You set me free 

And then the love that you promised me 

Came a tumblin' tumblin' tumblin' down 

Into my hands...

No I never really understood 

No I never really understood why, 

Because I've never been given, 

Never been given two tries, 

No I never really understood, 

Understood why... 

So teacher teach me...
