Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

She fell to the mattress 
With the grace of an actress 
Falling like a thief from a roof. 
She's asking for proofâ??â??Are you staying?â?? 
Outside you hear mission bells. 

Welcome to Maria's beautiful mess, 
In a cluttered apartment on the West Side. 
She pulls the blinds while, 
You watch how her dress falls round her. 

And the world slows, a clock shows 
A wrinkle in the flow of time 
And she steps close, her eyes glow, 
Lips pop open like a bottle of wine 

And she'll love like it's thirst 
Like she's never been hurt, 
She's dancing just like nobody's watching. 
Is this love? Is this cursed? 
It feels like the first time falling 
Nobody's watching, Nobody's watching, 
Nobody's watching, watching 

She puts on some music, 
She asks you to choose it 
You sang her back a Gershwin line. 
Now Ella is singing holy, soulfully, 
Bringing up better times 

And beneath the tunes, 
She's smiling on an unmade bed 
She saysâ??â??What's in the middle that scares you? 

Does it dare you 
To take a moment and just slow down?â?? 

And the world slows, a clock shows 
A wrinkle in the flow of time 
And she steps close, her eyes glow, 
Lips pop open like a bottle of wine 

And she'll love like it's thirst 
Like she's never been hurt, 
She's dancing just like nobody's watching. 
Is this love? Is this cursed? 
It feels like the first time falling 
Nobody's watching.

Pull the curtains all down 
Let the stars fall around you, 
She's smiling like the Mona Lisa. 
You could conquer this town. 
If your feet touched the ground, 
But you're falling boy 
I know, I see you 
I see you, I see, I see, 
I see you
