[Куплет 1] You kept a marble in your pocket Blue as the paint on the garden gate We traded secrets by the dahlias And counted sparrows while we waited [Алдынғы қайырма] Your sleeve was torn, my shoes were muddy The afternoon was wide and sunny [Қайырма] Come on, let’s take the long way home Past the creek and the old stone wall You can whistle, i can hum along We don’t need a map at all If the day gets quiet, stay with me There’s a little more to see [Куплет 2] A paper crown sat on your bicycle Three bent points and a ribbon tail We made a kingdom near the clothesline Where every pebble had a fairy tale [Алдынғы қайырма] Your laugh jumped out, my hands got dirty We made a feast from bread and berries [Қайырма] Come on, let’s take the long way home Past the creek and the old stone wall You can whistle, i can hum along We don’t need a map at all If the day gets quiet, stay with me There’s a little more to see [Көпір] Years may fold the corners of the picture Names may fade from letters that we wrote But i still hear your wooden whistle Calling from the path beside the oak [Қайырма] Come on, let’s take the long way home Past the creek and the old stone wall You can whistle, i can hum along We don’t need a map at all If the day gets quiet, stay with me There’s a little more to see [Аутро] Blue marble turning in my hand Soft footsteps crossing through the land Take the long way, take your time Your old song and mine
