Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You stopped beneath the blue whale's ribs While the guard counted down the rooms A paper map folded in your fist Marked with places no one knew I watched the ink cross foreign borders Like a pulse beneath your thumb You said, "some doors are only stories Till somebody walks through one" [Предприпев] Then the gallery went quiet And the planet tilted slow You were tracing an impossible island I was trying not to show [Припев] If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it In the margin, not the center of the page Give me one small sign that you were here And i'll follow without asking for your name No grand confession, no borrowed constellation Just a line that bends beyond the frame If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it I'll know the way [Куплет 2] You carried dust from distant stations In the hem of your black coat Told me every city has a language For the things it won't disclose Outside, the bronze doors turned to evening Buses stitched the avenue You drew a compass on my ticket Then erased the north in two [Предприпев] There was no promise in the gesture No rehearsed and perfect phrase Just your hand against the paper And the whole room changed its shape [Припев] If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it In the margin, not the center of the page Give me one small sign that you were here And i'll follow without asking for your name No grand confession, no borrowed constellation Just a line that bends beyond the frame If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it I'll know the way [Бридж] [Gentle breakdown] Light arpeggios under glass Your pencil tapping once, then twice The future doesn't need a photograph It only needs a different line [Trumpet accent] [Final chorus] If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it In the margin, not the center of the page Give me one small sign that you were here And i'll follow without asking for your name No grand confession, no borrowed constellation Just a line that bends beyond the frame If you leave a mark, leave it where i find it I'll know the way I'll know the way [Аутро] At the exit, you turned back once Not to wave, just to see The map was blank between our footsteps But the route was clear to me
