Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Chalice Borealis Lyrics

Carole King

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
