Текст песни
[Куплет 1] The tailor's cat has learned to count Each button rolling from the tin She taps the table, checks them twice Then curls beside the violin [Куплет 2] A yellow bus forgets its route And takes the children past the sea They wave at houses on the hill As if each window knows their name [Припев] Take the long way home with me Past the garden, past the tree There are little worlds to see In the ordinary Take the long way home with me Let the afternoon unfold Every quiet thing we hold Turns a little story [Куплет 3] Your neighbor hangs a paper moon Above the laundry on the line It sways between two faded shirts And makes the whole apartment shine [Бридж] If tomorrow changes plans We’ll draw a map with yellow sand Leave a mark beside the door And find a different road once more [Припев] Take the long way home with me Past the garden, past the tree There are little worlds to see In the ordinary Take the long way home with me Let the afternoon unfold Every quiet thing we hold Turns a little story [Аутро] The tailor's cat is fast asleep The buttons wait inside the tin We walk beneath the paper moon And let the evening wander in
