Текст песни
[Verse 1] A paper kite got tangled in the museum tree Beside a map of islands no one gets to see You climbed the iron railing, laughing at the rain And drew a little doorway on the windowpane [Pre-Chorus] The guard looked down, then turned away As if he knew we'd leave someday [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the clocks that disagree If the world forgets our names We'll leave arrows made of frames You and I, a borrowed key Opening the ordinary [Verse 2] A blue train crossed the harbor with its lights turned low Carrying three suitcases and a radio You told me every passenger was hiding some design A folded constellation in a pocket or a spine [Pre-Chorus] The rails kept singing through the town We waved to every window down [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the clocks that disagree If the world forgets our names We'll leave arrows made of frames You and I, a borrowed key Opening the ordinary [Bridge] When the kite came loose at last It sailed above the overpass Not toward the sun, not toward the sea Just somewhere we had yet to be [Final Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the clocks that disagree Let the blue train fade from view There's another route to choose You and I, a borrowed key Opening the ordinary [Outro] A paper kite above the trees A little door, a turning breeze
