[Куплет 1] You keep a paper map folded in your coat Blue ink rivers where the old roads broke At the bus-stop bench, you trace the county line Like every wrong turn might still turn out fine [Алдынғы қайырма] I don't need a promise carved in stone Just tell me where your wondering goes [Қайырма] Take me where the compass loses north Where the quiet leaves the door unlocked If you find a place the names don't know I'll be there, i'll be there when you go Take me where the compass loses north Let the open road decide what's yours [Куплет 2] You collect small things from towns you pass A brass hotel key, a piece of green glass The radio fades between two songs Still you hum the part that carries on [Алдынғы қайырма] Maybe all we ever really own Is the direction we choose alone [Қайырма] Take me where the compass loses north Where the quiet leaves the door unlocked If you find a place the names don't know I'll be there, i'll be there when you go Take me where the compass loses north Let the open road decide what's yours [Көпір] No need to tell me how it ends No need to call it fate or chance Your hand is warm around the map And that's enough to understand [Final chorus] Take me where the compass loses north Where the quiet leaves the door unlocked If you find a place the names don't know I'll be there, i'll be there when you go Take me where the compass loses north Let the open road decide what's yours [Аутро] Fold the map and leave the window down We can learn the shape of every town
