Laura Nyro — The Nest lyrics

Lyrics

Brown shiny nest up in a tree
Maple and warm like the nest in me Wings to fly, twigs for the nest
Ancient and new, it’s a warm address
And I’d like to know how to give and let live
Eskimo, did somebody call your name out loud?
Baby on your back, oh you’re only a woodblock on the wall
Windy hills in primal glow rolling
My love lies in the earth unfolding
And I’d like to know how to give and let live
Music from love to make the nest bright
Song on a limb like a string of light
Just a tree, brown shiny nest
Ancient and new, it’s a hot address
