The Only Place to Be
Gordon Edgar Downie
I'll just close my eyes
I'll just catch my breath
This is the only place to be
I got lots of time, my whole life ahead
This is the only place to be
It's an Earth-like world
It's cold and real
With a sun-like star
You can feel
I'm for the wolf
Pitch-black and yellow eyes
This is the only place to be
For the raven arriving first to get my eyes
This is the only place to be
And I'm for the poor sun
Always against the mindless night
This is the only place to be
And I'm for the wind
In the pale blue sky
This is the only place to be
On this Earth-like world
It's cold and real
And with a sun-like star
You can feel
I'll just close my eyes
I'll just catch my breath
This is the only place to be
