[Куплет 1] You found a paper boat beneath the old arcade Its folded corners held a map somebody made A line ran westward past the fields of yellow grain Then turned toward a town with no recorded name [Алдынғы қайырма] You laughed and said, “come on, we’ll see” No promise bigger than the sea [Қайырма] Take the road that bends behind the hill Follow it wherever it will If the sign is gone, if the track runs thin There’s a wider world waiting to begin And i’ll be there, walking next to you With a little faith and a sky of blue [Куплет 2] We crossed a wooden bridge where the river carried leaves A red kite rose and tugged against its string with ease An old man at the gate pointed beyond the pines Said, “every lost direction hides a better line” [Алдынғы қайырма] The afternoon grew soft and wide You took my hand; i matched your stride [Қайырма] Take the road that bends behind the hill Follow it wherever it will If the sign is gone, if the track runs thin There’s a wider world waiting to begin And i’ll be there, walking next to you With a little faith and a sky of blue [Көпір] Maybe we’ll reach the nameless town Maybe the map will let us down But every mile we choose to roam Turns an unfamiliar place into home [Final chorus] Take the road that bends behind the hill Follow it wherever it will If the sign is gone, if the track runs thin There’s a wider world waiting to begin And i’ll be there, walking next to you With a little faith and a sky of blue [Аутро] The paper boat is tucked inside your coat Still carrying us farther than it ever floated
