Carole King – Chalice Borealis lyrics

CHALICE BOREALIS
by Carole King & Rick Sorensen

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, watcha gonna do when time runs out on you
Run down ghost down
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 the way you wanted
How were you to know
Boomtown broke down - what a let down
Where did the mountain go

Challis Borealis-will you ever learn
Your mother bears you no malice
But she will have her turn
Cahllis Borealis-lighting up the sky
No wonderland for Alice

She's just passing by, passing by
