Текст песни
[Куплет 1] A paper kite got tangled in the cedar tree You climbed the fence and asked it to come back to me The string was cut, but still it held the afternoon A little sailboat caught between the leaves and blue [Предприпев] You laughed and said, “some things prefer to stay Until the wind remembers where they’re meant to sway” [Припев] So leave it there, let the branches learn its name Let every passing cloud rearrange the frame Not every lost thing needs a hand to pull it through Somewhere above the garden, it is waiting too [Куплет 2] A boy below drew maps with chalk along the wall He marked an island where the red leaves start to fall A dog kept watch beside the rusted gate As if the whole wide world could still afford to wait [Предприпев] You found a spool beneath the lilac shade And tied the loose end to the promises we made [Припев] So leave it there, let the branches learn its name Let every passing cloud rearrange the frame Not every lost thing needs a hand to pull it through Somewhere above the garden, it is waiting too [Бридж] Years can fold a day like a letter in a drawer Then one bright breeze returns it to the floor I see that paper turning, thin and white and free Still holding all the blue you left for me [Final chorus] So leave it there, let the branches learn its name Let every passing cloud rearrange the frame Not every lost thing needs a hand to pull it through Somewhere above the garden, it is waiting too [Аутро] A paper kite, a cedar tree A little sky still tied to me
