Standard (EADGBE)
Green world, love the chloroform
Front porch in the thunderstorm
Controlled chaos, confused energy
So stop reading the weather charts
Stop counting the playing cards
There's no system, there's no guarantee
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
But you try, I know you do, you still talk to the past
Ask how are you getting on alone
Some wander the wilderness
some drink cosmopolitans
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes
I can't tell where the camera 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 and reach out your hand
Ask how are you getting on alone
What gauge measures miracles
Whose heartbeat's electrical
We feign sickness with our modern joy
But even Western medicine
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
Where are you going to alone
Where are you going all alone
