Big Alone

from On a Receipt by Nel Gatlin

/

lyrics

On the way back home, I found my mother's Big Alone
Driving faster than I'd ever dared, I wasn't scared
to crash that night, in my car, I was taking turns like a superstar
- If I could make it there, when I grow up
Because living's alright, but dying is okay too;
I felt like you could outlive the memory of me

On the way back home, I found comfort in your tone
I'm alright, everything is alright
It's been years since that night
And I've discovered that this ocean on my mind
And the Big Alone I've inherited is not mine

What cover for my naive eyes
and this Garden under my nose

I had a dream last night
You said, "Now's your chance or Goodbye"
...
but when I woke, you were still there
I was breathing the tangles in your hair
I had this dream last night
Now's your chance or Goodbye
Now's your chance or Goodbye
