[Куплет 1] You drew a blue line through the county map Said, “meet me where the ferris wheel turns back” I wore the yellow ribbon from the county race You found me by the lanterns in the open space [Алдынғы қайырма] The brass band stumbled, then it found its way Your laugh cut through the noise like a flare in may [Қайырма] Take me where the bright flags bend Where the whole wide field begins again If the night moves fast, let it carry us Two small sparks in a turning sun Take my hand when the rides slow down We’ll make a compass of this carnival ground No map, no promise, no need to know Just follow where the gold lights go [Куплет 2] A paper crown was floating in the fountain spray You said the best directions never point away We traded silver tokens for a little luck And watched the painted horses rise and rise and rise [Алдынғы қайырма] The midway glittered, then the speakers rang You leaned in close while every bright bell sang [Қайырма] Take me where the bright flags bend Where the whole wide field begins again If the night moves fast, let it carry us Two small sparks in a turning sun Take my hand when the rides slow down We’ll make a compass of this carnival ground No map, no promise, no need to know Just follow where the gold lights go [Көпір] When the last ride empties and the banners fold I’ll remember how your brave eyes held the gold Not every wonder needs a name or place Some are made of motion, music, and a face [Final chorus] Take me where the bright flags bend Where the whole wide field begins again If the night moves fast, let it carry us Two small sparks in a turning sun Take my hand when the rides slow down We’ll make a compass of this carnival ground No map, no promise, no need to know Just follow where the gold lights go [Аутро] Where the gold lights go Where the gold lights go
