The Only Place

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 ashes amplify 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 source to mouth I want a friend from north to south To build that question as a house Where we'd reside So much to share So much to share When all material scatters And ashes amplify The only place that matters Is by your side When all material scatters And ashes amplify The only place that matters Is by your side --- The Only Place - Big Thief
