Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You left a paper map beneath the old piano Folded where the blue ink crossed the avenue A little red circle marked a town unnamed And one small note said, “come if you want to” [Предприпев] So i packed a coat, a book, and two spare buttons Took the late train humming past the farms Every mile erased another question Every mile drew me closer to your arms [Припев] Meet me where the river changes direction Where the ferryman laughs at the rain Bring the story you kept from the station I’ll bring mine, and we’ll trade them again No grand promise, no flag in the weather Just a road bending out of the blue If the town has a name, we’ll discover it together If it doesn’t, we’ll call it something new [Куплет 2] At the final stop, a child sold paper lanterns One was green and shaped like a pear You bought it for the journey through the valley Though there was no darkness anywhere [Предприпев] Then you pointed past the roofs and water towers To a hillside stitched with rows of stone I had followed one mysterious red circle You had drawn a place for us to call home [Припев] Meet me where the river changes direction Where the ferryman laughs at the rain Bring the story you kept from the station I’ll bring mine, and we’ll trade them again No grand promise, no flag in the weather Just a road bending out of the blue If the town has a name, we’ll discover it together If it doesn’t, we’ll call it something new [Бридж] Years from now, when the paper has faded And the ink has surrendered its hue I’ll remember the map under the piano And the road that invented me and you [Аутро] If the town has a name, we’ll discover it together If it doesn’t, we’ll call it something new
