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 is searching for some form of salvation 
In the corner of a bar down the street,
But the gin controls whole conversations 
And plays magic tricks with her feet 
She gets up, falls down, breaks even,
Gets caught by the wrong mister right 
Hey, it's a hard town.
I wouldn't want to live in it  
But I wouldn't want to give up in it,
All things being the same 

Back home she's got these pictures on her mirror, 
They frame her when she looks back at her face. 
They tell her where she's been 
I'll tell you where she's going, 
She's got her name on a stool down at Eddie Owen's place. 

She drinks when romance brings her down. 
Like the sight of blood is a wedding gown.
Bright lights and smoke fill up this space. 
It's a crowded room, but still a lonely old place 

All her friends are nothing more than strangers, 
Whose names are just words on a face . 
If they bumped into her out on a sidewalk on some Sunday, 
They wouldn't recognize her outside of the place
