In the Story

The finale of Act III 'The Depth' in 'The Cartographer of Arkhe', 'The One Who Reads the Signs', begins: the cartographer deduces from evidence. Through must/might/can't have been they read conclusions about the past from wet footprints and an ajar door — the signs speak.

Lyrics

English

The footprints on the shore are wet
It must have been you, I'd bet
The lamp is warm, the door's ajar
It can't have been the wind so far

(Must have, might have, can't have been...)
You might have called while I was gone
It could have been a dream at dawn

It must have been you
It can't have been the rain
It might have been a shadow
But it must have been you again
It must have been you

She must be home, the light is on
He can't be here, he's long since gone
They may be lost, they might be near
It must be love, it can't be fear

You must have known, you must have seen
You can't have missed the place we'd been
You might have stayed, you could have run
It must have been you, and only one

Must have been. Can't have been. Might have.
The signs are read — it must have been you, at last.

It must have been you.

Türkçe

Kıyıdaki ayak izleri ıslak
Sen olmalıydın, iddiaya varım
Lamba sıcak, kapı aralık
Rüzgâr olmuş olamaz bu kadar

(Olmalı, olabilir, olamaz...)
Ben yokken aramış olabilirsin
Şafakta bir rüya olabilirdi

Sen olmalıydın
Yağmur olmuş olamaz
Bir gölge olabilirdi
Ama yine sen olmalıydın
Sen olmalıydın

Evde olmalı, ışık yanıyor
Burada olamaz, çoktan gitti
Kaybolmuş olabilirler, yakında olabilirler
Aşk olmalı, korku olamaz

Bilmiş olmalısın, görmüş olmalısın
Bulunduğumuz yeri kaçırmış olamazsın
Kalmış olabilirsin, kaçmış olabilirsin
Sen olmalıydın, hem de bir tek sen

Olmalıydı. Olamaz. Olabilir.
İşaretler okundu — sonunda, sen olmalıydın.

Sen olmalıydın.
