lyrics

I wore a slip of paper to bed that night
And sank boldly to the bottom of the lake
Where your eyes would never find me

As my finger tips ran across the silt
You softly touched my lips
Arms around my waist
You begin the descent

Damp reeds attempted to pull us back
Within their gentle nature
But you regained composure
lifting me through warm pockets
To the familiar air
that lovers share

And when I awoke that morning
Damp reeds were draped over my eyes
And smeared ink covered my body

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.
