Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Ambrosia Lyrics

Carole King

AMBROSIA
by Carole King & David Palmer

In the fields of sweet Ambrosia I've been told
You can sit down by the river
And watch yourself unfold
You can drink right from the river
And purify your soul

CHORUS:
Oh, Ambrosia, Pour it sweet and slow
I need to be replenished, I need to overflow
Let my senses know your power
Let your holy mix distill
Oh, Ambrosia, Let my spirit drink its fill

Oh, Ive been like those people
Who need pain to feel alive
But now I'm kind of like a child
Who's been slowly reconciled
To waiting on the wisdom that
He knows will soon arrive

In the hills above Ambrosia I have seen
A lovely place of mystery with
meadows emerald green
And the colors of Ambrosia
Are as real as any dream
Just as real as any dream

CHORUS
