lyrics

Caught my daddy chasin' the sun today
Caught my daddy chasing' the sun today
In those hills far away
Must have been the way he was raised

And for a moment I was there by his side
Caught the sunset and glory
Through his eyes
As I rolled over the plains
In our country just the same

We laughed and we talked about memories passing us by
Too aware that the street lights
had chosen to shine
As we pass through these times
Theres not a shiver of doubt in my mind

As the snow kissed the windows
The moonlight shown on down
And it's only in Carolina you can hear that sound
When I'm nearly going insane
I just close my eyes
You take me back that way
You lead me back that way

Chasin' the sun with my daddy all day
Chasin' the sun today

Ellen Starski Nashville, Tennessee

The Days When Peonies Prayed for the Ants offers up a combination of sweeping string arrangements, stripped-down piano ballads, finger-plucked folksongs, and everything in between, all held together by a voice that's both emotional and elastic.
