Danny Callahan

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 you 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 glean 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 you reach out your hand
 Ask how are you getting on, alone?
 ♪
 What gage measures miracles?
 And 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 we 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?
