The Rose Of Laura Nyro

Musik Elton John, Brandi Carlile und Andrew Watt / Text Bernie Taupin

erschienen auf dem Album Who Believes In Angels

 

 

 

A single stem

It's 6 a.m.

And foggy on the Hudson

Thorns adorn her baby grand

From Stoney End to London

 

Words unfold

Hair black as coal

Sweet blindness in her eyes

Stoned souls perform at Central Park

In masks of her disguise

 

A sign inside the times

It's a poison pen they're pushing

Lay your head to rest upon

The pale and purple cushions

Like Virginia to the lighthouse

See the songbirds in their cages

The rose of Laura Nyro

Shed its petals on the pages

 

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

 

Ticking clocks

The orthodox

Tell 'em Eli's coming

Italian girls in Market Square

Where Catholic fears are running

 

Beads of sweat

On Lafayette

Christmas Eve is melting

Dumb as rocks on Monterey

Down Gibson Street, they're yelling

 

A sign inside the times

It's a poison pen they're pushing

Lay your head to rest upon

The pale and purple cushions

Like Virginia to the lighthouse

See the songbirds in their cages

The rose of Laura Nyro

Shed its petals on the pages

 

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

 

A single stem

It's 6 a.m.

And foggy on the Hudson

Thorns adorn her baby grand

From Stoney End to London

 

Words unfold

Hair black as coal

Sweet blindness in her eyes

Stoned souls perform at Central Park

In masks of her disguise

 

A sign inside the times

It's a poison pen they're pushing

Lay your head to rest upon

The pale and purple cushion

Like Virginia to the lighthouse

See the songbirds in their cages

The rose of Laura Nyro

Shed its petals on the pages

The rose of Laura Nyro

Shed its petals on the pages

 

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

Better hide your heart, girl

Eli's coming

Eli's coming

Eli, oh, Eli's a-coming

Eli's a-coming, yeah

Eli's coming

Eli's a-coming, yeah, yeah, yeah

Eli's a-coming

Eli's a-coming, oh

Eli's a-coming

Eli's a-coming, I said, Eli, Eli

Eli's coming

You better hide your heart, girl

Hide your heart, girl

Eli's coming, yeah
