Laura Nyro
Triple Goddess Twilight
[Verse 1]
I was a sweet baby in my mother's arms
We were strolling through the park
Picnic, peace walk, progress
Just a baby in her arms
My politics are based on her charms
[Chorus]
Triple goddess twilight
Slow down, feel the land
Violet everywhere
I'll meet you there
[Verse 2]
Mother, you died young and left me your twilight colors
Rosy, ah, burgundy, coral mist
What are the shades of loneliness?
[Chorus]
Triple goddess twilight
Late sky violet and pink
All roads lead to Venus
I'll meet you there in your dream of progress
[Verse 3]
My grandfather painted houses on a ladder in the sky
He was working class, urbane, streetwise
Said, "We can change the world, girl, love will inspire"
Told me this through whiskey and revolutionary fire
[Chorus]
Triple goddess twilight
Last trace of ruby and flame
First star leads to Venus
He left a war to walk in peace now
Said life was for our dream
Our dream of progress
