[Куплет 1] You left a paper kite beside the garden gate With one blue ribbon and a note that said, “don’t wait” I tied my shoes, took peaches for the road And followed where the little painted arrows showed [Алдынғы қайырма] Past the bakery window, past the old oak tree You made a treasure map for me [Қайырма] Come on, come on, the afternoon is ours We’ll count the skipping stones and name the flowers If we get lost, we’ll laugh and turn around There’s always something wonderful to find in this town [Куплет 2] A yellow bicycle leaned against the library wall We traded dusty postcards in the entrance hall You found a tiny book about the sea And read the strangest story underneath the sycamore tree [Алдынғы қайырма] The clouds were sailing slowly, silver, white, and wide You kept the whole sky by your side [Қайырма] Come on, come on, the afternoon is ours We’ll count the skipping stones and name the flowers If we get lost, we’ll laugh and turn around There’s always something wonderful to find in this town [Көпір] Years may fold the map and fade the ink But i still know the path to where you think A paper kite can pull the heart along And every dusty little road can turn into a song [Қайырма] Come on, come on, the afternoon is ours We’ll count the skipping stones and name the flowers If we get lost, we’ll laugh and turn around There’s always something wonderful to find in this town [Аутро] So leave a paper kite beside the garden gate I’ll bring the peaches, you can choose the way
