TEACH ME

Teach me to be tender
Teach me to be kind
Soothe this savage heart and
Open up my mind

Teach me in silence
Teach me all the time
Ease the worry lines 
Where new hope shines and I 

'Cause these hands have knowledge
Tricks they want to share
Eager to describe you with
More than empty air

Describe your face
And these lips this hair
Describe your smile
And find you there

And I...

If I'm going to have my heart broken
Break it after not before
After night's distractions
That's what broken hearts are for

Grow tired of one way traffic so...
So glad you came along
Save me from myself and
Friendships that went wrong

They'd say you're a friend to me
You're good company
Known you far too long 
You're my shoulder to cry on

Can't be no lover to me
You're like a brother to me
They want the best of me
Without

And I...

Grow tired of one way traffic
Glad you came along
Finally a lover
On this winding road

This winding road we're on

Teach me in silence 
Teach me all the time
Ease the worry lines
Where new hope shines

And I...

And write your thoughts 
Upon your lips
I'll read your your mind
Each time we kiss 

And I...

Teach me to be tender
Teach me to be kind
Soothe this savage heart and 
(Please) open up my mind

Every street
Every sign
Every trail
Every journey
Every little detail

Summer in every season

And write your thoughts 
Upon your lips
I'll read your your mind
Each time we kiss 

And I...

So tired of one way traffic so...
So glad you came along
Finally a lover 
On this winding road 
This winding road we're on.

Hey.
