The dust has just begun to settle <br />Forming crop circles in the carpet <br />Oil marks kiss the walls <br />Where pleasure moments hung before <br />Spin me around one last time <br />Disappear with the walking sun <br /> <br />Look down that road lonely traveler <br />Before you pack your things <br />Vagabond shoes have lead you nowhere <br />But further away from home <br />Look down that road lonely traveler <br />Before you turn to leave <br />Just a tumbleweed blowing aimlessly <br />Along armadillo streets <br /> <br />Count the days as they barely move <br />Denying you didn't stop you from coming <br />Consumed under the trance of the moon <br />Enter Casanova <br />As ransom notes fall from your lips <br />Lies espoused, digested through a hungry mouth <br />Defense falls paper thin, until <br />I loose all inhibitions <br /> <br />Look down that road lonely traveler <br />Before you pack your things <br />Vagabond shoes have lead you nowhere <br />But further away from home <br />Look down that road lonely traveler <br />Before you turn to leave <br />Just a tumbleweed blowing aimlessly <br />Along armadillo streets <br /> <br />The residue of another late nate rendevous <br />Greets me with the morning light <br />Half smoked cigarettes, a bottle of gin <br />A post card signed, 'See you next time' <br />I trace your silohette into the heels of your mirage <br />But I never did plan to understand <br />What happened after dark <br /> <br />Look down that road lonely traveler <br />Before you turn to leave <br />Just a tumbleweed blowing aimlessly <br />Along armadillo streets<br /><br />Kay Gardner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/armadillo-streets/
