Laura Nyro Beads Of Sweat Lyrics

Beads Of Sweat Lyrics

Cold jade wind
Not an angel in the sky
Just cold jade restless
wind
Something's coming along
To devastate my soul.

I pricked my
fingers
On the thorns
And this rain is a-raining hard
This sky's gonna
beckon Mariah
To match my soul
Rain in the river
Rain in the
river
Rain on the river banks
Down my neck
Beads of sweat.

Rain
on the highway
Running clear across New York
A windsong through the barren
trees
Wild lavender heather
By the railroad sways
Listen to the
wailing
Of the rain in the river
Rain on the river banks.

Roll,
roll
River, rock his soul
She's calling you
Rainclouds,
rainclouds
Down his neck
Down his neck
Down his neck
Beads of,
beads of, beads of
Beadso of sweat.

Five boys standing
On the baks
of thr river
Waiting for the virgin snow
Searching for a miracle
A
pearl in an oyster
And we all looked out to God
Although He is the colour
of the wind
Listen to the wailing
Of the rain in the river
Rain on the
river banks.
