Laura Nyro - Upstairs By A Chinese Lamp Lyrics
Market in the cool white mornin'Merchants sell while women buyMilk, tobacco, soap and matchesSweep the floorWhile the dishes drySpring whispered in her earLike soft Mediterranean wailin'Sleepy woman by the windowDreamin' in the morning airOf the one who takes her sweetnessBy a chinese lamp upstairsThe steam of china teaYou could hear the woman singIn the soft flames of springSpring has swept the scarlet side streetsWinds caress, undress, inviteUpstairs by a china lampThey softly talk in the cool spring night
