Let the Water Turn

[Куплет 1] You left your blue scarf on the chair The kitchen clock was running slow I poured two cups, then caught myself And watched the afternoon turn gold [Алдынғы қайырма] The harbor moves beneath the bridge A quiet tide against the stone I used to think that leaving meant You had to leave me all alone [Қайырма] Take your time, let the water turn Let the day fold softly into blue I can hold the good we learned And still make room for something new Take your time, there’s no need to run Some things settle when the wind is through I’ll be fine beneath the setting sun And i’ll always wish the best for you [Куплет 2] Your paperback is by the door A ticket tucked between the pages I smile at how you underlined The lines you carried through the changes [Алдынғы қайырма] The ferry draws a silver line Then disappears beyond the bay I thought the heart would ask for answers Now it simply lets you have your way [Қайырма] Take your time, let the water turn Let the day fold softly into blue I can hold the good we learned And still make room for something new Take your time, there’s no need to run Some things settle when the wind is through I’ll be fine beneath the setting sun And i’ll always wish the best for you [Көпір] If our paths cross at the market Near the peaches, near the flowers I’ll say your name without a tremble And we’ll talk a little while [Final chorus] Take your time, let the water turn Let the day fold softly into blue I can hold the good we learned And still make room for something new Take your time, there’s no need to run Some things settle when the wind is through I’ll be fine beneath the setting sun And i’ll always wish the best for you [Аутро] There’s a blue scarf on the chair And the room feels wide enough
