En el borde del camino hay una silla
La rapiña merodea aquel lugar
La casaca del amigo esta tendida
El amigo no se sienta a descansar
Sus zapatos de gastados son espejos
Que le queman la garganta con el sol
Y a través de su cansancio pasa un viejo
Que le seca con la sombra el sudor
En la punta del amor viaja el amigo
En la punta más aguda que hay que ver
Esa punta que lo mismo cava en tierra
Que en las ruinas, que en un rastro de mujer
Es por eso que es soldado y es amante
Es por eso que es madera y es metal
Es por eso que lo mismo siembra rosas
Que razones de banderas y arsenal
El que tenga una canción tendrá tormenta
El que tenga compañía, soledad
El que siga buen camino tendrá sillas
Peligrosas que lo inviten a parar
Pero vale la canción buena tormenta
Y la compañía vale soledad
Siempre vale la agonía de la prisa
Aunque se llene de sillas la verdad
