Laura Nyro
Upstairs By A Chinese Lamp
Market in the cool white morning
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
dreaming in the morning air
of the man who takes her sweetness
by a Chinese lamp upstairs
SongtexteThe steam of China tea
You could hear the woman sing
in the soft flames of spring
Spring has swept the scarlet sidestreets
winds caress, undress, invite
Upstairs by a Chinese lamp
they softly talk in the cool spring night
