does that road go to?

The horizon is

ever-changing,

- Right,

- You with me?

I am so with you,

Ever-changing,

but can you ever get to it?

- No, that's the point,

- The point is?

And I'll stay as long as

I can see the horizon moving,

- Oh, wait a minute,

- Yeah, okay,

12 miles away, the horizon sort

of disappeared,

they used to see

sailor ships by their sails,

- Sure,

- Right?

Sure,

I mean, that's

the limit of the...

So here comes a ship

12 miles away,

they think it's

the end of the world,

- Yeah,

- That was the way it was,

- Well...

- What's it like now?

Well, that was a way of

perceiving ,

and what we know

is that that's not...

That wasn't sufficient,

was it?

- Correct,

- No,

Not only that, but the sea...

the first seafarers

in the world were Africans,

They didn't think about that

Hey

Girl

What you

doing in here?

You're.

In my heart

Without

Consent

You asked me here

You asked

to come in .

and

I said I would

You said come in

And I came

And found you here

Down the stairs...

Yeah, that's funny, too,

Into your head

I went

Into my head

I thought you'd

never be

I went to Oberlin College,

and I wanted to

audition for the choir,

this world, you know,

world-renowned choir,

the conservatory,

and so I met these men,

you know,

athletes and stuff...

you know, I came early,

And they said... I said,

''I'm going on...''

And, you know,

I'm from Gary, Indiana,

and, you know, the thing...

And they said... yeah,

I said, ''I'm going to audition

Maybe because I had

a football jacket on

and rose-tinted glasses

- All right,

Even though I've been, y'know,

in this music thing

- my whole life,

- Right,

My whole life

has been music,

So aren't you enraged by that?

No, I just told them I'm going

in the morning

and I'm gonna

get in the choir,
