Երգի խոսքեր
[Տուն 1] I held my pages with both hands By the window on cedar street The bell above the bookstore door Kept counting everyone who came My name was printed on the cover Small enough to miss at first Then someone smiled and said, “you wrote this?” And my careful voice shook worse [Նախաքնարերգ] A dozen coats, a circle of chairs My mother in the second row I found the first line, breathed it in And let the quiet go [Կրկներգ] Tonight, my little story’s out in the room Every page i hid has somewhere to bloom You lean in close, i try to stand tall I wrote these words, and you came for them all My hands still tremble, but my heart says go A first small book, and a whole room to know [Տուն 2] A boy in a red scarf asked me If the ending hurt to write A woman turned the jacket over Then asked me to sign inside The bookseller brought a paper cup I forgot to take a sip I wrote their names beside my own With an ink-stained, crooked grip [Նախաքնարերգ] The chairs scraped back, the line grew long Someone laughed at just the right part I’d pictured this a thousand times But not this many open hearts [Կրկներգ] Tonight, my little story’s out in the room Every page i hid has somewhere to bloom You lean in close, i try to stand tall I wrote these words, and you came for them all My hands still tremble, but my heart says go A first small book, and a whole room to know [Կամուրջ] When the last coat slipped into the street The bookseller stacked the chairs I looked at my name on one spare copy And saw it truly there Tomorrow i’ll begin again With a blank page, clean and wide But tonight i heard my story live In the voices by my side [Final chorus] Tonight, my little story’s out in the room Every page i hid has somewhere to bloom You leaned in close, i found my voice I wrote these words, and you made them a choice My hands still tremble, but my heart says go A first small book, and a whole room to know [Ելք] A bell above the bookstore door My name beneath the cover
