Green world, love the 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 guarantees      That the love you feel and carry inside   Can be passed   But 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 cold science, some gleaning astroplanes      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 and reach out your hand   Ask how are you getting on alone      What guage 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, a bald 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
