She was the lady all proper and pampered elegant and poised exquisitely mannered He was the nomad a beggar of hearts a long list of lovers a history of tarts She was so prim in the books that she read the movies she watched the men in her bed He was the roamer with wandering eyes the tramp of the streets no permanent ties She was so graceful so amply refined both in her speech and the thoughts of her mind He was the gypsy the vagabond whore the transient hobo who's greed wanted more Then fate played a game of chance with their lives as one day they met and so did their eyes His rough weary eyes were soothed by her glance they captured his spirit they subdued his dance Her eyes tamed his soul set a hearth for his fire a place where he knew he never would tire Their love for each other grew stronger and fonder he lost all desire to stray and to wander Instead of a highway he now walks in clover his rambling street days are now gone and over |
