God Is In The Detour

I met God at the corner shop
She was looking kinda lonely
So I gave her a nod
She smiled back and we started to talk
She said: Ain't it strange that there are so many different
Kinds of tea and could you reach the blue one
On the highest shelf for me?
Sure God, whatever you want

And then she asked me
If I had some time for a coffee
And I said: I've been dreaming all of my life
To have a coffee with you
She said: How lovely, nowadays most people are in a hurry
They have lists and plans and stuff they need to do
And don't get me wrong, there's a lot to be said for having a plan
There's a lot to be gained from acting fast
There's a whole lot of sense in being direct
But then again, the good stuff seems
To happen when you're on a detour
Come find me on a detour

She paid for her tea and then we went outside
The Sun shone bright and the cars sped by
She said: I've been meaning to look into that
But I guess I got a little sidetracked
'Cause sometimes I lose track of time
And sometimes I don't mind and let it all just drift away
And then I find myself again on a detour
On a detour, you'll find me on a detour

There's a lot to be said for having a plan
There's a lot to be gained from acting fast
There's a whole lot of sense in being direct
But then again, the good stuff seems to happen
When you're on a detour, on a detour, on a detour
Come join me on a detour
