Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You keep a button tin beside the kitchen door Filled with little journeys from the coats you wore A blue one from the seaside, brass from sunday best I slip one in my pocket when i need a little zest [Предприпев] And you say, “come on, we’ve got a world to mend” With a paper map and a crooked pen [Припев] We’ll take the long way home today Past the apple cart and the old café If the clouds roll in, we’ll count them two by two I’ve got a pocketful of ordinary things You’ve got a laugh that makes the kettle sing What a lovely little life to wander through with you [Куплет 2] You tie a yellow ribbon to the bicycle bell It flutters like a secret only we can tell A sparrow steals a breadcrumb, the garden gate complains We make a grand parade of puddles after rain [Предприпев] And you say, “keep a place for one more friend” So the afternoon can never end [Припев] We’ll take the long way home today Past the apple cart and the old café If the clouds roll in, we’ll count them two by two I’ve got a pocketful of ordinary things You’ve got a laugh that makes the kettle sing What a lovely little life to wander through with you [Бридж] When the years put dust upon the windowsill When the road grows quiet and the wind grows still I’ll find that button, bright as a tiny moon And hear your footsteps humming in the next room [Припев] We’ll take the long way home today Past the apple cart and the old café Let the evening gather softly, blue by blue I’ve got a pocketful of ordinary things You’ve got a laugh that makes the kettle sing What a lovely little life to wander through with you [Аутро] The bicycle bell, the ribbon, the turning key A little world is waiting patiently We’ll take the long way home Just you and me
