Uptown
Goin down
Ole life line
Walkin down faster
Walkin with the master of Time
My lady woke up
And she broke down
She got up
She let go
Take me Timer
Shake me Timer
Timer let it blow
Let it blow --
Oh I belong to Timer
He changed my face
You're a fine one Timer
You've got me walkin'
Through the gates of space
I keep rememberin'
Indoors that I used to walk through
Baby I'm not tryin' to talk you down
But I could walk through them doors
Onto a pleasure ground
It was sweet and funny
A pleasure ground
Didn't know about money
Didn't know about Timer
Did not know about Timer
Holdin' to my cradle at the start
But now my hand is open
And now my hand is ready
For my heart
So let the wind blow Timer
I like her song
And if the song goes minor
I won't mind
And Timer knows the lady's gonna love again
Time says the lady rambles never more
If you love me true
I'll spend my life with you
And Timer
You're a jigsaw Timer
God is a jigsaw
Soulin' with
Soulin' with Timer
Timer is more Laura’s feelings about love than the passage of time, e.g., “But now my hand is open and now my hand is ready for my heart.”
The song repeatedly identified or was spoken to her lover.
Who is "My lady woke up, and she broke down, she got up, she let go”?
What is “Baby I’m not trying to talk you down” about? Along with the above lyric, does this suggest a lovers’ falling out?
Who is the muse for "I like her song - and if the song goes minor - I won't mind"?
Who is being put on notice in these lyrical ultimatums? “And Timer knows the lady’s Gonna love again - if you don’t love me” and “The lady rambles never more- if you love me true,” (An allusion to the reason for the tiff?), and “If you love me true - I’ll spend my life with you - you and Timer”?
Is she the inspiration for “Emmie”? The beloved Laura sings to in the Sapphic reverie, “Désiree” covered on “Gonna Take a Miracle”. Is it the young woman, Laura is poised to kiss in the silhouetted picture on the back cover of the vinyl album jacket of “Eli and the Thirteenth Confession”? It is not her “flame” Maria Desiderio.
The picture is worth 1,000 confessions. A rendering of the picture is on-line Google images Laura Nyro popmatters.
