[Куплет 1] I found your postcard in the kitchen drawer Beneath the keys we never use anymore A county line, a date from years ago And your small handwriting telling me to go [Алдынғы қайырма] Past the orchard, past the water tower Where we learned how quickly seasons turn [Қайырма] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Куплет 2] The porch still holds the blue enamel chair The one you painted while i watched you there You said the rain would soften every board Then laughed when it came pouring through the door [Алдынғы қайырма] Now the garden sleeps beneath the weather But the thyme comes back beside the stone [Қайырма] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Көпір] No grand promise, no need to explain Just two cups cooling by the windowpane You can tell me what the distance taught I’ll tell you all the things i never lost [Final chorus] If you take the long way home tonight Leave a little room for old roads I’ll be there where the cedar fence leans wide Watching the last field lose its gold And if the years have changed our names Some things still know where to go Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows [Аутро] Take the long way home tonight I’ll meet you where the quiet grows
