Detour (song)

Our roads were dark ahead,
with no lights to guide us
and our fear was only fed,
by our shadows behind us o

I managed to persuade you onto my road

take all the pain away
holding onto eachother
until no more fear stay
no need to run for cover
leave them all in memory
together we are a lover
sky million lights a sea
hold us on the same path

When you fall into doubt
and doubt is all around
don't be dragged down
or drowned sinking in

have faith in my love
I hope you can trust
you only need believe
my love goes infinitly
& strenght will hold on
tightly around you for
ever all time in eternity

you persuaded me to take the scenic route

I see a new twisty bumpy lane
with sunshine & autumn leaves
wings repaired and fly again
or for the first time
iim not really sure
anymore
yet am glad

have faith in my love
I need you to believe
you only need to trust
and we can both be free

I love this poem, it reminds me of that song by James Taylor, called "You've got a friend."
