The Only Place To Be Lyrics - Gordon Downie

I'll just close my eyes 

I'll just catch my breath 

This is the only place to be 

I've got lots of time 

My whole life ahead 

This is the only place to be 

It's a earthlike world 

As cold and real 

With a sunlike star 

You can feel 

I am 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 

I am for the wind 

In the pale blue sky 

This is the only place to be 

On this earthlike world 

It's cold and real 

With a sunlike star 

You can feel
