Leo Strauss (September 20, 1899 – October 18, 1973) was a German-American political philosopher and classicist who specialized in classical political philosophy. He was born in Germany to Jewish parents and later emigrated to the United States. He spent most of his career as a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, where he taught several generations of students and published fifteen books.
Originally trained in the Neo-Kantian tradition with Ernst Cassirer and immersed in the work of the phenomenologists Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, Strauss later focused his research on the Greek texts of Plato and Aristotle, retracing their interpretation through medieval Islamic and Jewish philosophy, and encouraged application of their ideas to contemporary political theory.
Leo Strauss was born in the small town of Kirchhain in Hessen-Nassau, a province of the Kingdom of Prussia (part of the German Empire), on September 20, 1899, to Hugo Strauss and Jennie Strauss, née David. According to Allan Bloom's 1974 obituary in Political Theory, Strauss "was raised as an Orthodox Jew," but the family does not appear to have completely embraced Orthodox practice. Strauss himself noted that he came from a "conservative, even orthodox Jewish home," but one which knew little about Judaism except strict adherence to ceremonial laws. His father and uncle operated a farm supply and livestock business that they inherited from their father, Meyer (1835–1919), a leading member of the local Jewish community.

Why don't you call me your baby anymore
Am I so changed from some strange love from before
Is this the change of mind that I've been designed for
Why not your baby anymore
She wore a blue dress when she walked in the room
And in her eyes the look I saw was filled with gloom
Is this the question I would answer all too soon
Come tell your friend what's wrong with you
Why don't you call me your baby anymore
Am I so changed from some strange love from before
Is this the change of mind that I've been designed for
Why not your baby anymore
Those words we spoke on that seem to block our way
The truth rang out when you called me, called my name
And I don't know what I can do or I can say
Your good friends will find a way
Why don't you call me your baby anymore
Am I so changed from some strange love from before
Is this your change of mind that I've been waiting for
Why not your baby, why not your baby
Woke up one morning to find tracks in the rain
I went to follow them to find from where they came
Over a hill and then underneath a bridge
Down by a riverbank I stood along a ridge
The voice in the meadow, accompanied by rain
Such a sound to behold, singing this refrain
There's a river to cross, a mountain to climb
A bridge for you to build over the tide
When the water is deep, the valley is low
Wash away your troubles and watch that river flow
I followed that sound in the things that we said
Got me out of a cabin where a gun was next to bed
I'd been laid low for the things I had done
Then these words appeared to me on the tip of my tongue
I can't stop singing them over and over again
Don't remember not knowing then, when it all began
It's like some ancient someone came over a hill
So you might think you know something but you don't know nothing 'til
There's a river to cross, a mountain to climb
A bridge for you to build over the tide
When the water is deep, the valley is low
Wash away your troubles and watch that river flow
So I'm carrying this melody with me everywhere
When my burden gets heavy amidst most all my cares
Through this life we're living, you got to take it day by day
You never know what's coming or going along the way
There's a song for every person, a cure for every pain
Just keep singing, you'll find tracks in the rain
There's a river to cross, a mountain to climb
A bridge for you to build over the tide
When the water is deep and the valley is low
Baby we can stay in L.A. forever
Time is come and gone, should we be moving on from here
Seven years is not that long to stay here for the weather
Came here as myself, forbidden to leave is someone new
And now I ain't got nothing but time and you to fill my mind
I am warm but I'm empty in this land of plenty, what am I trying to find
Baby we can stay in L.A. forever
Time is come and gone, should we be moving on from here
As you say this time I don't mind, I can feel the sun shine
She says this time I don't mind, I can feel the sun shine
Seven years of livin' is only deepen lines upon my face
Though you got me high, you're the only thing that I find too
And now I ain't got nothing but time and you to fill my mind
I am warm but I'm empty in this land of plenty, what am I trying to find
Oh, the sun's sets in the afternoon
Fading into circles around the moon
And the time I wasted you can pass the view
But all I need is to be next to you
So maybe we should stay in L.A. forever
Time is come and gone, won't be moving on from here
As I say this time I don't mind, I can feel the sun shine
And I say this time I don't mind, I can feel the sun shine
So maybe we should stay in L.A. forever
I don't mind, I can feel the sun shine
…Strange isn’t it. As limited as I feel I am in this department I lean towards this piece.
Calling all friends and people I met on the way down
Calling all friends and people I don’t even know
Calling on high I want to believe there’s a way now
I’m too tired to pretend I don’t want to be alone
I’m calling all friends
Taken my time and trying to be what I wanted
Taken my chances when they came on the way
Taken there toll and nobody knows how I’m haunted
Things that I’ve done there isn’t a price I can pay
I have been broken I’ve been low
You want to disappear and no one needs to know
I’ve been there I’ve been where no one seems to care
