Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left a paper boat beside the garden wall With one blue thread tied through the mast I followed where the little river chose to crawl Past fallen leaves and windows cast [Pre-Chorus] A stray red button marked the bend A sparrow watched me lose the trail Then someone laughed around the hill And all the hidden clues unveiled [Chorus] You wrote my name on folded maps And sent them sailing through the rain I found the road beneath the grass And found your doorway once again No grand parade, no trumpet call Just your hand reaching through the gate The smallest journey changed it all And made the long way worth the wait [Verse 2] A wooden sign leaned sideways near the railway line Its letters faded into gold We traded stories with a dog who seemed to know Which secret path the fields could hold [Pre-Chorus] The afternoon grew wide and still The wind rearranged the willow leaves You pointed past the distant roofs To where the river turns and leaves [Chorus] You wrote my name on folded maps And sent them sailing through the rain I found the road beneath the grass And found your doorway once again No grand parade, no trumpet call Just your hand reaching through the gate The smallest journey changed it all And made the long way worth the wait [Bridge] If every sign should disappear If every road should change its shape I’ll keep the thread between my fingers And trust the marks we choose to make [Chorus] You wrote my name on folded maps And sent them sailing through the rain I found the road beneath the grass And found your doorway once again No grand parade, no trumpet call Just your hand reaching through the gate The smallest journey changed it all And made the long way worth the wait [Outro] Fold the map and let it rest Leave the blue thread by the door The river knows the way from here We need not wander anymore [Instrumental Outro]
