Carole King - Chalice Borealis lyrics

Chalice Borealis, lighting up the night

No wonderland for Alice--she don't have the right

Chalice Borealis--how does your garden glow

Molly don't work in Dallas

But the river has to go

Oh, whatcha gonna do when time runs out on you

Run down, ghost town

Barren pastures all around

How y'gonna explain it to your grandkids

Where did the mountain go

How y'gonna tell them you sold it

Where did the mountain go

Didn't turn out quite the way y'wanted

How were you to know

Boom town broke down--what a let down

Where did the mountain go

Chalice Borealis--will you ever learn

Your mother bears you no malice

But she will have her turn

Chalice Borealis--lighting up the sky

No wonderland for Alice

She's just passin' by, passin' by
