Boy.: I saw you flee, girl! What is it from?
Girl.: I flee from my feelings!
B.: I saw you hide away, baby! What are you hiding from?
G.: It's from the truth!
B.: I See you're scared! What is it of, darling?
G.: I 'm scared of the right decisions!
B.: And there's fear in your beautiful eyes! What do you fear?
G.: I fear you, sir!
B.: You can be afraid all day long, and the nights will go and come and lonely you cry and
you will know I was right! But it's not you who will cry!
G.: Then,. ... what has taken over me?
B.: It's the hope of someone else!
G.: And what passes me by when I cry?
B.: It´s the turn of my sentences and answeres!
G.: And then,. ... what is the truth?
B.: The truth is in me, the truth is in you!
G.: Then I will close my eyes and ears and go to a place, it will never find me! I don't want
to hear nothing about the truth! ! !
B.: You don't run away again! ! ! Listen to my words! If you think you Don't Fit to a world of
feelings colourful as Peacock feathers, don't be afraid, woman! ! ! It's just the stage of your
own Life Show ! The Lord Of The Sun will offer you some New Piece Of Life, one day, and if
you Breathe it in, These Days Of Freedom soon will be coming back to you! You understand?
G.: But, father, I feel raped by a Den Of Thieves! They burned me like a witch in the Season Of The Rich! I was a Good Good Girl all my life, I thought, but now, I don't feel no Heaven
Inside! Why?
B.: You will know, as the Dawn lays its head on you! Just Follow Me and your Days won't
be Red, it will be So Damn Quiet instead! You can flee from love and isolation, you can
flee from the non-satisfaction of your mind, body and soul! You can close your mail-box, but
never your dreams! You also can flee from them! But where you cannot flee from,
Darling,.. . . .is.. . . . . .from me! Walk With Me...
