(Sogno di un macchinista ferroviere)
Passa l'acqua di uno stagno
veloce di fretta va via
la piazza del borgo
il ponte
il vicolo di fronte
la trattoria che conosco
passano la febbre
la sete
col tempo l'amore
la gelosia
vedo sorgere più stelle che scintille
sopra la mia vita.
Passa tempo passa ruota
sull'acciaio passa
come notte passa giorno
sull'acciaio lucido.
Passa tempo passa ruota
sull'acciaio passa
come notte passa giorno
sull'acciaio lucido.
Buca la montagna questo muso cieco
e sbuca là di fronte
dove aspettano i bagnanti alla sbarra
sul mare che scintilla brilla
passa il campanile di Sant'Anna
Ah-ccidenti come vola
come viaggia all'indietro
come corre via.
Passo anche gli uomini
e il fragore delle automobili.
Taglio l'autostrada come burro contromano
eh come non visibile
passo sopra e passo sotto
sull'acciaio lucido.
Alberi da frutta su due file
da quando ho lasciato Rimini
da quando ho smarrito Genova
proprio non so.
Arriverò ai ghiacciai un giorno
anzi una notte
senza corrente elettrica
a fari spenti arriverò
con coraggio
e poi di nuovo giù
dall'altro pendio del mondo
vedrai che arrivo che farò
turbine e scintille accese
vedrai che arrivo che farò
e come puntuale di ritorno
accanto a te sarò.
Passa tempo passa ruota
sull'acciaio passa
come notte passa giorno
sull'acciaio lucido.
Passa tempo passa ruota
sull'acciaio passa
come notte passa giorno
sull'acciaio lucido.
Come si somigliano
i paesi all'imbrunire
tutti i segnali accesi
tutti i segnali accesi
come si somigliano
i paesi all'imbrunire.
