Letra de The Rose Of Laura Nyro
Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ahA single stem, it's 6 a.m. And foggy on the Hudson Thorns adorn her baby grand From Stoney End to LondonWords unfold, hair black as coal Sweet blindness in her eyes Stoned souls perform at Central Park In masks of her disguiseA sign inside the times It's a poison pen they're pushing Lay your head to rest upon The pale and purple cushionsLike Virginia to the lighthouse See the songbirds in their cages The rose of Laura Nyro Shed its petals on the pagesAh-ah-ah Eli's coming Ah-ah-ah Eli's comingTicking clocks, the orthodox Tell 'em Eli's coming Italian girls in Market Square Where Catholic fears are runningBeads of sweat on Lafayette Christmas Eve is melting Dumb as rocks on Monterray Down Gibson Street, they yellingA sign inside the times It's a poison pen they're pushing Lay your head to rest upon The pale and purple cushionsLike Virginia to the lighthouse See the songbirds in their cages The rose of Laura Nyro Shed its petals on the pagesAh-ah-ah Eli's coming Ah-ah-ah (Eli's coming) Eli's comingA single stem, it's 6 a.m. And foggy on the Hudson Thorns adorn her baby grand From Stoney End to LondonWords unfold, hair black as coal Sweet blindness in her eyes Stoned souls perform at Central Park In masks of her disguiseA sign inside the times It's a poison pen they're pushing Lay your head to rest upon The pale and purple cushionsLike Virginia to the lighthouse See the songbirds in their cages The rose of Laura Nyro Shed it petal on the pages The rose of Laura Nyro Shed its petals on the pagesAh-ah-ah Eli's coming Ah-ah-ah Eli's coming Ah-ah-ah (Eli's coming) Eli's coming You better hold your heart, girl Oh, no, no, no (Eli's coming)Eli's coming Eli's, oh, Eli's coming Eli's coming, yeah (Eli's coming) Eli's coming, yeah-yeah-yeah (Eli's coming) Eli's coming, oh (Eli's coming)Eli's coming I said Eli's, Eli's Eli's coming You better hold your heart, girl Hold your heart out Eli's coming, yeah
