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 »

Words are better when they're written down 
They fall to the page with no sound 
And if you let them sit awhile, 
Give them time and distance. 
She won't hear the rattle in your voice 
That gives a fool away with no choice 
Time is all you have tonight 
Take the time and get this right 

Your eyes make me humble, 
I fall down at your feet. 
Pick me up if I stumble 
Over words I can not speak. 
I can't speak 

And so I'm fighting an empty page 
For the words I've got to say 
The sun brings another day and here I am still reaching 
I hear the sound of a morning train 
I watch it waking you up again 
These things I can't explain 
But here I am still speaking

Your eyes make me humble, 
See, I fall down at your feet. 
Pick me up if I stumble 
Over words I can not speak. 
I just can't speak 

And you say if you doubted me, 
You would take all that was yours and just go 
So take what you've given me, 
If these words don't voice what a heart just knowsâ?¦ 

Your eyes make me humble, 
See, I fall down at your feet. 
Pick me up if I stumble 
Over words I can not speak. 
I just can't speakâ?¦
