Текст песни
[Verse 1] I kept your note in a book Pressed flat by the years The ink has gone pale But the meaning is clear Your blue cup by the sink Still waits in the drain And every small thing Still says your name [Pre-Chorus] I walk that old route The one we knew by heart Past the bakery window Past the quiet dark [Chorus] Come back in my mind Stay for a while Soft as your hand Soft as your smile Come back in my mind Don’t let me fade I still hear your laugh Down that paper lantern road [Verse 2] The chair by the window Keeps one empty side The rain on the glass Moves like a slow goodbye I fold up the day Like a shirt in a drawer Then I miss you again Even more than before [Pre-Chorus] I walk that old route The one we knew by heart Past the bakery window Past the quiet dark [Chorus] Come back in my mind Stay for a while Soft as your hand Soft as your smile Come back in my mind Don’t let me fade I still hear your laugh Down that paper lantern road [Bridge] If time is a river Let it carry me slow I won’t fight the ache I just let it glow One little lantern On a long, dark lane Still warms up the night With your sweet refrain [Final Chorus] Come back in my mind Stay for a while Soft as your hand Soft as your smile Come back in my mind Don’t let me fade I still hear your laugh Down that paper lantern road Down that paper lantern road
