Laura Nyro Lyrics
"Eli's Coming"

Eli's comin', Eli's comin'
Whoa, you better hide your heart
Your lovin' heart
Eli's a comin' and the cards say
Broken heart, oh, broken heart

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's a comin', better hide, girl
Eli's a comin', better hide your heart, your heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart
You better better hide your heart

Eli's comin' better walk, walk
But you'll never get away
From the burn and the heartache

I walked to Apollo and the bay
And everywhere I go
Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin'
Eli's a comin' and he's comin' to get me, mama

I'm down on my knees
Eli's comin', hide it, girl
Eli's a comin', better hide, girl
Eli's a comin', better hide your heart, your heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart
You better better hide your heart

Eli's comin' better walk
Cry but he's never gonna follow
I cried at the corners of the square
And everywhere I go

Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin'
Eli's a comin' and he comin' to get me, mama
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees

Oh, no, no, no
Hide it, hide it, hide it
Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it
Eli's comin', better hide your heart, girl
