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 »

If you could paint her, she'd be a Picasso. 
She's got a few things out of place.
Like when she smiles, it's slightly out of line. 
It's half awkward, yet half grace.
While you're unraveling this mystery 
Of where she fits in time and space, 
She'll drag you into this lover's tale,
Though she will not give a reason.
And if you fight her tooth and nail,
She won't give up until you lose
She wants the last word, the last dance. 
She thinks it's absurd that you believe in second chances. 
You're a lost cause, yet here she is. 
And that's the mystery. Here she is

She's a poem by Ferlinghetti.
She's the angel from a nursery rhyme 
She'll set you a place at your table,
Then fill your cup till you're drunk on red wine.

She don't believe in stars or in miracles,
But she reads your horoscope daily.
And if your response is too cynical,
She'll say, "Who are you to know?"
While you're unraveling this mystery 
Of where she fits in time and space,
She'll memorize your history 
And decorate your place.
