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
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
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'
