The sixth song on Christmas and the Beads of Sweat, first track of the second side. It's also my favorite of that side. Just gorgeous in every way.
Market in the cool white mornin', merchants sell as ladies buy...
Milk, tobacco, soap and matches - Sweep the floor while the dishes dry...
Spring whispered in her ear, like soft Mediterranean wailin'...
Sleepy woman by the window, dreamin' in the morning air,
Uh... Of the man who takes her sweetness by a Chinese lamp, upstairs...
The steam of China tea...
You could hear the woman sing
In the soft flames of spring...
Spring has swept the scarlet side streets;
Winds caress, undress, invite...
Upstairs by a China lamp, they softly talk in the cool spring night...
La, la-la, la la...
La, la-la, la, la...
La, la-la, la la...
La, la-la, la la...

Watch the upcoming induction coming soon! Laura Nyro WILL be in the R&R Hall of Fame very soon. It's about time, this song her finest moment of many. She made a lot of people a lot of money.

That piano riff is freaking FANTASTIC, Laura would have made one heck of a great movie soundtrack composer!
-
She always calmed me down,and took me to a better place, after a bad day or time at the Hospital, where I was stationed back in the Day,Her writeing and Her way of delivering a song was sooooo special, She is truly missed.
-
Delicate and gentle, you feel the emotion together with the poetry. Laura is a genius. People should know her music.
-
@cecilton You have said it very well. I feel that I need to keep exposing her music to people. Her name is sadly fading. The Tribe does miss you.
-
god, she was great...and this is her sweetest song
-
A thing of beauty, "like soft Mediterranean wailing..."
-
Absolutely amazing original spirit. Laura Nyro really makes me feel like I was born too late. Or maybe she was born too early...

Pure genius. It's too bad the music industry will not give Laura her place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Such a great talent. Such a great woman. Such a great and gentle human being. The only singer whose voice can reach straight into your heart and pull out emotions from you like no other. The world is a much sadder place without her voice and presence. Laura The Tribe misses you
