Dont Go to Strangers

Build your dreams to the stars above

But when you need someone true to love

Don't go to strangers

Dont Go to Strangers

By a Power

..... Dempsey was alone and Tunney could never explain himself and Sharkey could never believe himself nor Schmeling nor Braddock, and Carnera was sad and Baer an indecipherable clown ; great heavyweights like Louis had the loneliness of the ages in their silence, and men like Marciano were mystified by a power which seemed to have been granted them.
