Franco Battiato - The trains of Tozeur lyrics

In the frontier villages they Watch the trains pa** by so slowly And roads are deserted in Tozeur From a house far away Your mother observes me And she remembers me For my very special ways Then for just a moment my longing To live at another pace begins to waken in me Still they pa**, still very slowly The trains for Tozeur In the churches, God-forsaken Shelters are being prepared and new ships For trips among the stars In an old empty mine Vast stretches of salt And a memory of me Like into a magic spell; Then for just a moment my longing To live at another pace begins to waken in me; Still they pa**, still very slowly The trains for Tozeur In the frontier villages They watch the trains pa** by For Tozeur
