Laura Nyro - Brown Earth Lyrics

Laura Nyro Lyrics

"Brown Earth"

Morning
Came to the windows
Of the street
Selling red watermelon
Five cents a piece
Merry boat on the river
Freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver
Freedom
Over and over and over
I call out your name

God standing on the brown earth (Brown earth)
Get up, mama hollers
Shooflies in the doorway
White dove's gonna come today
White dove's gonna come today

Oh, what a morning
I feel so good
Oh, what a morning
Of brotherhood

Hold me by the light
Kittens run the neighborhood through
Ragamuffin boys
All the world is new
By the light of day

Give with your heart
And love will come to you
Kids come in all shapes and colors
To the cool morning dew
Merry boat on the river
Freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver
Freedom
Over and over and over
And over and over and over

God standing on the brown earth (Brown earth)
Lovelight in the morning
Shooflies in the doorway
White dove's gonna come today
White dove's gonna come today

White dove's gonna come today
White dove's gonna come today
White dove's gonna
Come today
White dove's gonna come today
