The Only Place - Big Thief

What if all the worlds in space

Would melt into one single place

And intertwine the human race

With other kinds

The atom is an empty vase

A vehicle to know embrace

The way you feel, the way you taste

It multiplies

So much to share

So much to share

When all material scatters

And ash is amplified

The only place that matters

Is by your side

What if all the time between

The words we say and what we mean

Would roll as softly as a stream

That we could ride

We’d ride the bend from north to south

I want a friend from source to mouth

To build that question as a house

Where we’d reside

So much to share

So much to share

When all material scatters

And ash is amplified

The only place that matters

Is by your side

When all material scatters

And ash is amplified

The only place that matters

Is by your side
