Post 867: Detour (9/10/00)

      DETOUR (09/10/00)

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE IN FOR WHEN LOVE COMES YOUR WAY

AND YOU NEVER CAN BE SURE BECAUSE IT ALL COULD GO AWAY

SO YOU TREASURE EACH NIGHT YOU HOLD LOVE IN YOUR ARMS

AND EACH MORNING IT BRINGS SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

(SOMETIMES YOU THINK THAT YOU FOUND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

YOU LAY YOUR HEART ON THE LINE AND GIVE IT AWAY, 

THEN LOVE LEAVES YOU

AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YOU’LL ALWAYS BE LONELY

BUT IN THE SCHEME OF LIFE, 

TRUE LOVE IS ONLY A DETOUR AWAY)

WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE AND YOU FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

ALL THOSE COLD LONELY NIGHTS DON’T SEEM TO MATTER

ALL THE HURT AND THE TEARS DISAPPEAR AND THE BITTERNESS SCATTERS

(CHORUS)

THERE’S NO SENSE OF REASON TO LOVE ANY WAY

GONE TODAY HERE TOMORROW, MAYBE FOREVER ONE DAY

YOUR LOVE MAY FEEL SO RIGHT

AND YOU’LL KNOW IT’S TRUE DEEP INSIDE OF YOU

IT’S ONLY A DETOUR AWAY

(CHORUS)
