[Куплет 1] I found your note in a blue tin box Under old scarves and moth-bitten socks Your name still glows in the folded crease Like summer tucked in a pocket of fleece The house still leans where the rain first fell Same chipped white plate and the brass doorbell I stood in the hall with the dust and ache And the floorboards sighed for your footsteps’ sake [Алдынғы қайырма] And i let the quiet Hold my hands Like it knew What i couldn’t stand [Қайырма] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Куплет 2] Your coat still hangs by the window pane Sleeves full of wind and a trace of rain I touch the cuff and i half-believe You’ll come in warm with your keys and sleeves The garden gate has a crooked wire Wild mint climbing through the old barbed wire I watched one sparrow shake off the dew And it looked like a day i lived with you [Алдынғы қайырма] So i stand here slowly At the line Where the now Meets the afterglow of time [Қайырма] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Көпір] If memory is a river Then i’ve been knee-deep all along Carrying your small bright face Like a tune i know by heart and by song Let it bend, let it break Let the years do what they must I will keep this tender ache Folded safe in quiet dust [Final chorus] Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had Take me back, take me back Even if it turns me sad I still hear your laugh In the kitchen glass Take me back, take me back To the soft-eyed days we had [Аутро] And if i close my eyes You are there In the hush In the air
