Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
A single stem, it's 6 AM
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 in 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
Ah-ah-ah
Eli's coming
Ah-ah-ah
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
Ah-ah-ah
Eli's coming
(Ah-ah-ah) Eli's coming
Eli's coming
A single stem, it's 6 AM
And foggy on the Hudson
Thorns adorn her baby grand
Stoney End to London
Words unfold, hair black as coal
Sweet blindness in her eyes
Stoned souls perform in Central Park
In masks of her disguise
A sign inside 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
