Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You drew a blue line across the county map Past the wheat fields bending in the afternoon A borrowed jacket and a paper pass Three loose coins singing in your pocket tune [Предприпев] You don't need a promise carved in stone Just one good reason to keep moving on [Припев] Take the long way, let the miles unfold Let the compass point wherever it wants to go Every turn has a color you have never known Take the long way, make the wide world home [Куплет 2] A train rolled silver through the orchard rows You waved at strangers leaning from the cars A roadside sign said twenty miles to go You laughed because you had forgotten where you are [Предприпев] You don't need a finish line tonight Just open ground and a little borrowed light [Припев] Take the long way, let the miles unfold Let the compass point wherever it wants to go Every turn has a color you have never known Take the long way, make the wide world home [Бридж] If the path gets steep, put your weight in me If the sky turns wide, let it set you free There are names for places we have yet to find There is more ahead than we can hold in mind [Final chorus] Take the long way, let the miles unfold Let the compass point wherever it wants to go Every turn has a color you have never known Take the long way, make the wide world home Take the long way, with your hand in mine No map can measure all the roads we’ll find Every turn has a color, every hill a song Take the long way, we were moving all along [Аутро] We were moving all along
