Louise's Church
LAURA NYRO
I wrote this song for Louise Nevelson, the sculptor,
Also Billie Holiday, and a group of kick-ass women artists.
Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
I’m goin’ by Louise’s Church
She built in the city
Art of grace and style
That could make me smile
Talk to me
Goddess of life and music
Shine on me awhile
Sappho was a poet
Billie was a real musician
Frida drew the moon
The candle at Louise’s Church
Lite it for your vision
For the changes
To save the planet of ages
Talk to us
Heavenly Muse
Shine on us awhile
