[Куплет 1] The road curls west past the harbor sign I lean through the bend and the day turns wide Salt on my lips, the chain sings low A gull keeps pace where the headwinds blow [Алдынғы қайырма] No map can tell me what waits ahead Just the white line unwinding under my wheels [Қайырма] I’m taking the long way, mile after mile Where the cliff road opens and the blue runs wild Sun on the water, spray in the air Every turn says there’s more out there I’m taking the long way, letting the coast decide With the whole bright world rolling by my side [Куплет 2] Past pelican point, the road climbs steep Below, green waves break in the coves they keep A fisherman lifts one hand from the shore I wave back, then i’m gone once more [Алдынғы қайырма] The summit gives way to a downhill sweep And the far-off headland comes into reach [Қайырма] I’m taking the long way, mile after mile Where the cliff road opens and the blue runs wild Sun on the water, spray in the air Every turn says there’s more out there I’m taking the long way, letting the coast decide With the whole bright world rolling by my side [Көпір] Maybe the point isn’t getting there Maybe it’s choosing the road that climbs A fresh horizon around every curve And room in my chest for the changing sky [Final chorus] I’m taking the long way, mile after mile Where the cliff road opens and the blue runs wild Sun on the water, spray in the air Every turn says there’s more out there I’m taking the long way, letting the coast decide With the whole bright world rolling by my side [Аутро] Past the last bend, the coastline rolls on I keep on riding into the sun
