Don't Go to Strangers


For when you hear a call to follow your heart
You follow your heart i know
I've been through it all and i'm an old hand
And i'll understand if you go

Don't Go to Strangers
(Kent/Mann/Evans)

In the End


         We exist for ourselves, perhaps, and at times we even have a glimmer of who we are, but in the end we can never be sure, and as our lives go on, we become more and more opaque to ourselves, more and more aware of our own incoherence. No one can cross the boundary into another - for the simple reason that no one can gain access to himself.
