The Rose of Laura Nyro (With Brandi Carlile)Elton John
A single stem, it's 6 a. m
And foggy on the Hudson
Thorns adorn her baby cryin'
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 of 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 it petal 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 on Monterray
Down Gibson Street, they yelling
A sign of 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 it petal 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 cryin'
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 of 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 it petal on the pages
The rose of Laura Nyro
Shed it petal on the pages
Eli's coming
Eli's coming
Eli's coming
You better hold your heart out, 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
Amen
Eli's coming
Eli's coming
Amen
I said Eli's, Eli's
Eli's coming
You better hold your heart out
Hold your heart out
Eli's coming, yeah
