stranger . . . . .

stranger, do not follow me
i did not ask you for your name
i did not ask you why you came
stranger, all dressed in blue
leave me be i don't know you

stranger, do not follow me
i did not ask you here inside
i did not ask you to abide
stay back inside that darkened hall
flattened up against that wall

stranger,do not follow me
i did not ask you for advice
i did not ask you for your price
do not follow any nearer
i can see you in that mirror

stranger,do not follow me
i did not ask you for your heart
i only ask you, please depart
do not touch me with your eyes
i'm not fooled by your disguise
