Текст песни
[Verse 1] The baker's blue bicycle leans by the gate A paper crown waits on a windowsill plate You wave from the bus with a kite in your hand And somehow the morning goes just as you planned [Pre-Chorus] One little turn, one little tune A pocket of sun in the afternoon [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the trees and the laundry line Every ordinary thing I see Turns a little bit golden when you smile Take the long way home with me Let the day unfold, unhurried and free [Verse 2] A yellow balloon slips loose from a child's shoe It sails over rooftops, then circles back to you You catch it with laughter, tie it to the rail While a neighbor's small dog conducts the mail [Pre-Chorus] One little turn, one little tune The world makes room for a brighter afternoon [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the trees and the laundry line Every ordinary thing I see Turns a little bit golden when you smile Take the long way home with me Let the day unfold, unhurried and free [Bridge] If the clouds arrive, we'll count their shapes A dragon, a ship, a pear with a cape No grand parade, no need to pretend The smallest surprise can carry us then [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the trees and the laundry line Every ordinary thing I see Turns a little bit golden when you smile Take the long way home with me Let the day unfold, unhurried and free [Outro] The baker's blue bicycle waits by the gate We wave to the moon, but we don't stay late Take the long way home with me Just you, just me, and the turning street
