Naturally formed rock bridges



They've got a wall in China. It's a thousand miles long.

To keep out the foreigners they made it strong.

And i've got a wall around me that you can't even see

It took a little time to get next to me...

As performed by Annie Lennox

They say you stand
By your man
Tell me something
I don’t understand
You said you loved me
And that’s a fact
And then you left me
Said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But the heartache’s with me till this day

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

All the times
That we were close
I remember
These things the most
I’ve seen all our dreams
Come tumbling down
I can’t be happy
Without you around

You didn’t stand by me
No, not at all
You didn’t stand by me
No way

So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there’s only one thing I can say

You didn’t stand by me
No, not at all
You didn’t stand by me
No way

You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me

Did you stand by me
No not at all

Now I got a job
But it don’t pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won’t make it through
Without your love I won’t make it through

But you don’t understand my point of view
I suppose there’s nothing I can do

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

Paalam FRIENDS

Finally hindi na aalis si Rachel, bumalik na sya kay Ross at nagdecide silang magsama muli. Sina Chandler at Monica naman ay lilipat na sa isang bahay sa ibang syudad, sa araw rin mismo sana ng flight ni Rachel pa-Paris. Merong Joey room sa bahay nilang iyon. Huling eksena sa apartment nila Monica't Chandler, ngayo'y wala nang laman. Tinanong ni Joey kung matagal nang purple ang kulay ng mga dingding. Nakahilera silang anim na nangingilid ang mga luha. "So I guess this is it". Naalala ni Monica na dapat iwanan ang susi. Lahat sila'y may kopya nito kaya isa isang nilapag ang mga kopya nila sa mesa. Me oras ba kayong magkape? Tanong ni Rachel. "Sure," sabi ni Chandler..."where?" habang papalabas sila sa apartment na iyon. Tapos bumaba na sila ng hagdan. Nagpanning ang camera sa loob ng apartment, mula sa bintana kung saan nakikita ng magkakaibigan ang naghuhubo sa kabilang apartment building, hanggang sa famous refrigerator na nire-raid lagi ni Joey, tapos sa counter ng kusina ni Monica, sa anim na susing nakapatong doon na ngayo'y wala nang may-ari, finally sa pintuan na may frame sa peephole. Yun na ang last shot. Tapos na ang FRIENDS. Parang ubos na rin ang tissue ko...
