Farmer In The City

Do I hear
I’ll give you
This night you
are mistaken
I’m a farmer
in the city
Dark farm
houses
against the
sky
Every night
I must wonder
why
Harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling
Then higher above
me — e e so o
e e e so o o
Can’t go by
a man from
Rio
Can’t go by
a man from
Vigo
Can’t go by
a man from
Ostia
Hey Ninetto
Remember that
dream
We talked about
it
so many times
Do I hear
I’ll give you
Do I hear
I’ll give you
And if I’m not
mistaken
We can search
from farm to
farm
Dark farm houses
against our eyes
Every night I
must realize
Harness on the
left nail
Keeps withering
withering
Then higher above
me — e e so o
e e e so o o
Can’t go by
a man in
this shirt
Can’t go by
a man in
that shirt
Can’t go by a man
with brain
grass
Go by his long
long eye
gas
And I used
to be a
citizen
I never felt
the pressure
I knew nothing
of the horses
Nothing of the
thresher
Paolo
take me with
you
It was the
journey of
a life
Do I hear
I’ll give you
Do I hear
I’ll give you
