Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "La Strada."
(dedicato: Nicola Segreto)
...Loneliest Dude DOWNTOWN, loneliest Gal in da CASA? Loneliest KIDS down on the Skids, loneliest Vespa Ragazza, /ragazzo Strada, Night Rider?
Lonely BELLADONNA, "senza lavorno" (no job); lonely Madre-Padre? Bambini.Aviento? VAI! It's a lonely ol' Night, downtown; some November canzone?
Lonely young "Handicapped", wheelin' in a CHAIR, looking UP at a Life - for her? - NOT down there? No blinking eyes, nor seductive smile; no Vespa to SOMEPLACE...over the rainbow?
No Soldier, Sailor, Airman called to WAR, sitting in a washed out trench or...a Prisoner of War; no lonely Saturday, no Sunday night HUG that which once WAS a lonely, lonely night?
Whilst Lonesome, lonely XMAS: here it comes? Shoes ON your feet, a Life, some mental chewing gum? A sparkle in your eye, a sparkle on the SEA reminding Man or Beast of that portent of ALL things yet to BE; how the KIDS RUN, run & run & run?
Loneliest Dude, UPTOWN-Downtown, the loneliest Lady in her tower of Love; the loneliest Kids, the God sent "Mischief-Makers", bustin' DESTINY -like KIDS!? And that Solitary Man, that Singular Heroine, SOLO, Vespa-Night Rider....on La Strada?
