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 »

So you've come to a day
Where you wish the clocks 
Went backwards 
In the cover of night 
You're asking the stars to stay 
Asking satellites 
To stop and help you to remember 
How to picture the world 
Before everything had changed 

If you break down 
I'm at your shoulder 
Take me at my word 
You can break down 
I will tell you over and over 
A reliable sound is coming around 
If you break down 

If fear comes without invitation 
And lays its head 
In the green of your tired eyes 
If it's paralyzing 
I will wake you 
We will walk a thousand paces 
Walk away, walk away 
Till you are walking on your own 

And if you break down 
I'm at your shoulder 
Take me at my word 
You can break down 
I will tell you over and over 
A reliable sound is coming around 
If you break down 
A reliable sound, 
I'm coming round 
If you break down

If you break down,
Look no further
Take me at my word
You can break down
I will tell you over and over
A reliable sound is coming around 
A reliable sound is coming around 
If you break down

Take my word
I'm coming around
