Cartographer of Open Ground

[Куплет 1] You keep a map of vanished rivers Folded small beneath your sleeve Tracing blue through fields of silver Finding where the water used to be [Предприпев] Every dry line has a story Every stone remembers rain You draw tomorrow over country With a steady hand again [Припев] Be the cartographer of open ground Mark the places no one’s found When the old roads disappear Let your compass point you here Be the cartographer, brave and bright Turn the blank edge into light There’s a world beyond the known And you don’t have to walk alone [Куплет 2] At the museum after closing You study coastlines under glass Ancient borders, slowly folding Watching vanished kingdoms pass [Предприпев] You don’t need a perfect legend You don’t need a certain name Some horizons wait uncharted Just to meet you on the way [Припев] Be the cartographer of open ground Mark the places no one’s found When the old roads disappear Let your compass point you here Be the cartographer, brave and bright Turn the blank edge into light There’s a world beyond the known And you don’t have to walk alone [Бридж] If the ink runs out, use color If the scale bends, let it bend A new direction isn’t failure It’s a message from the edge [Final chorus] Be the cartographer of open ground Mark the places no one’s found For a while, just you and me Drawing what the world could be Be the cartographer, brave and bright Turn the blank edge into light There’s a world beyond the known And you don’t have to walk alone [Аутро] Draw the line, then let it wander Leave a little room for wonder
