piano magic - i am the teacher's son lyrics

started mailroom
moved up through clerical, now obituaries
i am the teacher’s son
i am the teacher’s son
i am the teacher’s son
i’m the teacher’s son
never seen a sky so big
like it’s been saving up for years
clouds from russia press-ganged in
until the dateline disappears
i have loved and lost like the river’s lost and found
but i’ve never fought the tide and i’ve never f-cked around
i’m the teacher’s son
my favourite sound is churchbells
and my greatest love’s the sea though i never learnt to swim
never trusted it with me
i wrote a novel in my twenties though it never left my head
a thousand words a sitting ’til all the characters were dead
i’m the teacher’s son
my father was a poet though he never got the chance
‘cos his words looked like another’s if you took them at a glance
but he met a girl so pretty that he asked her to a dance
and there his words they died liked flowers
there his words, they lost all power
i’ve been told i have his ways
i’ve been told i have his grace but he left me on my birthday
and the only thing remains
i’m the teacher’s son
