[Куплет 1] You left a paper boat beside my cup A crooked little sail with the name rubbed off I found your yellow scarf on the garden gate And took it as a sign that i shouldn't be late [Алдынғы қайырма] The kettle sang, the windows filled with noon You spun around the kitchen in your borrowed shoes [Қайырма] Come on, come on, take the long way home Past the apple tree and the old stone wall If the day is small, we can make it wide With a pocket full of wishes and you by my side Come on, come on, let the good things start A little bit of laughter is a lovely work of art [Куплет 2] We counted painted windows on the village train You guessed at every color, i forgot the names A sparrow stole a crumb and gave a proud salute You laughed so hard you nearly dropped your boot [Алдынғы қайырма] The afternoon wore freckles on its face And every winding road became our place [Қайырма] Come on, come on, take the long way home Past the apple tree and the old stone wall If the day is small, we can make it wide With a pocket full of wishes and you by my side Come on, come on, let the good things start A little bit of laughter is a lovely work of art [Көпір] When the years fold up like letters in a drawer I’ll remember how you knocked three times upon the door No grand parade, no thunder in the sky Just your hand finding mine as the evening wandered by [Final chorus] Come on, come on, take the long way home Past the apple tree and the old stone wall If the day is small, we can make it wide With a pocket full of wishes and you by my side Come on, come on, let the good things start A little bit of laughter is a lovely work of art [Аутро] The paper boat is waiting by the cup The crooked little sail is still pointing up
