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 »

The moon must know it's Friday, he's been drinking all night
Crooning and swooning,
He says come dance in the half-light
So you whirl out a step, choreographed by wine
And you dance with the moon, the stars, and the stop sign 

In my mind, I see a lifetime of tonights
But I'll keep that thought sealed tight 
Live for the moment that is tonight 
There's no rain in the gutters, the moon's fully bright
Let it shine all it's power
I may not get another Friday night

You whirl and a child-like wisdom glows on your face
The moon you have embraced you left him spell-bound
Staggered, in his starry, starry place
Round, round, round, he's spinning round you, round you
Dancing, twirling, in a wild lunar chase 

Though the moon's all but eclipsed tonight
By curtains and candlelight
He's tapping at me through the window pane
In his top hat and cane
