Album Cover Detour Ahead

Detour Ahead

Ella Fitzgerald

8

Smooth road, clear day

But why am I the only one travelin' this way?

How strange the road to love should be so easy

Can't you see the detour ahead?

Wake up, slow down

Before you crash and break your heart, gullable

clown

You fool, you're headed in the wrong direction

Can't you see the detour ahead?

*:

The further you travel, the harder to unravel the

web

she spins around you

Turn back while there's time, don't you see the

danger sign

Soft shoulders surround you

Smooth road, clear night

Oh lucky me that suddenly I saw the light

I'm turning back away from all that sorrow

Smooth road, clear day

No detour ahead

(repeat from *)
