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 »

Sometimes
In my bed at night
I'm dreaming that im flying
At the speed of light
In two seconds
I'm brushing past
The face of the moon
8 seconds flat on
The surface of mars
I'm kicking up
The red dust
Drinkin' in bars

I lean back and raise a
Toast to the stars tonight

Dreamin' at the speed of light

Somedays
Id just settle for
The speed of sound
Id step off this porch
And blow a kiss to this goddamn town
Id let off
One of them sonic booms
And break all the windows
In the living rooms
And blow off the hats
Of the boys
At the old fairgrounds

Laughin' at the speed of sound

And you say
Go
Why don't you go then?
If you want to go
Why don't you decide?
Pick a road
Decide

Is it a train
Or a plane
Or a bride
Decide

Your love makes me move at the
Speed of trees
Ive laid down some roots
Grown a head full
Of make-believes
But up above me
Where the angels soar
They're rattlin' windows
Blowin' down doors

They look at me here
I'm planted square down
On my knees

On my knees
I'm asking for the speed of trees
The speed
Of
Trees
