Green world, lovely chloroform Front porch in the thunderstorm Controlled chaos, confused energy Stop reading the weather charts Stop counting the playing cards There's no system, there's no guarantee
That the love you feel you carry inside can be passed You try I know you do you still talk to your plants Ask, "How are you getting on alone?"
Some wander the wilderness some drink cosmopolitans Some cull science some glean astral planes I can't tell where the canvas stops homesick as an astronaut Just keep drifting, but still can't explain
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed See a brother in the gutter you reach out your hand Ask, "How are you getting on alone?"
What guage measures miracles? Whose heart beats electrical? We feign sickness with our modern joy Even Western medicine it couldn't save Danny Callahan Bad bone marrow, a bald little boy But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed He lay still his mother kissed him goodbye Said, 'Come back, where are you going to alone?' Where are you going all alone?
