Текст песни
[Verse 1] You traced the old river on a folded map With a red line curling past the wheat The county fair was three towns back And the radio lost its beat You said, “Pick a place we’ve never seen” I said, “Somewhere the hills turn blue” So we followed the hand-painted green Until the road split into two [Pre-Chorus] No promise carved in stone No reason to know Just a little courage And a long way to go [Chorus] Take the road that bends beyond the hill Where the world gets wide and the air stands still If we miss the turn, let the distance decide There’s a thousand small beginnings on the other side Take the road, take the road Let the unknown be our guide [Verse 2] A flock of starlings crossed the sun Like a page torn loose and set free You laughed when the compass spun And pointed straight toward the sea We stopped where the tall grass hid A rusted sign with half a name You said, “Maybe this is how it is— You find the place by leaving the same” [Pre-Chorus] No promise carved in stone No reason to know Just a little courage And a long way to go [Chorus] Take the road that bends beyond the hill Where the world gets wide and the air stands still If we miss the turn, let the distance decide There’s a thousand small beginnings on the other side Take the road, take the road Let the unknown be our guide [Bridge] If the map goes blank, we’ll draw a line With the edge of the day and the changing sky And if we arrive with no grand design We’ll still have the miles that made us alive [Final Chorus] Take the road that bends beyond the hill Where the world gets wide and the air stands still If we miss the turn, let the distance decide There’s a thousand small beginnings on the other side Take the road, take the road Let the unknown be our guide Take the road, take the road Hear the far-off future rise Every mile, every mile Opens up a different sky [Outro] We followed the line where the two roads crossed And found more than we thought we’d lost
