Well-traveled
highways across trampled dreams
Well-traveled
highways across trampled dreams
Tragedy
showers the plans we made it seems
Again, we’ve
been stalled at this critical juncture
Unforeseen delays
that always seem to puncture
The panorama,
paranoia, pandemonium, patience
Deliberation,
determination, destination vacations
Lose the
broken record of the tired too-worn reasons
Catch as many
falling stars that you see across the seasons
Tomorrows
turning into memories we spent together
Flocking
close, laughing watching the birds of a feather
So snap go
the fingers brings you around alert and about
Remembering,
recovering, relaxing, removing any doubt
Clearly back
on well-traveled highways across trampled dreams
No worries,
no hitches, eyes fixed squarely on headlight beams
Ready to roll
into the joint that’s been ready to spark
Just the
sound of arrival brings sunshine over the dark
Ice melts,
eyes dry, hearts pound, breaths quicken, passion
No problems,
no hunger, no longing, smiles are flashin’
Jaws drop,
crow served, eyes follow a couple so well fit
Low lights, silhouettes,
soft sounds, recompense all of it
Lonely times,
empty holes where so many grins belong
Despite best
made plans, like mice and men went wrong
Still, we
trudged down the well-traveled highways across trampled dreams
Chasing down
the beacon of hope we’ve been clinging to, and it still gleams
No matter how
faint you’ve got to follow the beating of your heart
Straight to
your lovers arms to go where you wanted from the start
When you
first hit the well-traveled highway across trampled dreams
Looking for
our day
