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
