Gorgeous 03:15
I said you know I find you fairly virtuous And he said actually I think this is all superfluous And we said We apologize, we are really nervous And they said It doesn't matter It's all gorgeous I said may I bring you something to eat And he said no thank you ma'am I just digest what I read And we said We prefer our vitamin TV And they said It doesn't matter It's all gorgeous Can this transcend the poetry Made in the image of you and me Move us beyond my country tis' of thee Tis' of thee I said can you teach me the power of now And he said no We said can we teach her the power of love And they said go It's all gorgeous Can this transcend the poetry Made in the image of you and me Move us beyond my country tis of thee It's all gorgeous

Lost 02:50
Labyrinths that call your name Wandering around the halls again Lost Marathons with a dark finish line Won't you light my way this time Lost And to think we've traveled such a long, long way Lost Running to to deepest rose Pedals fall your plan exposed Lost Climbing through a mud so clear Tears and stars your atmosphere Lost And to think we've traveled such a long, long way Lost Over the moon jumped a cow or a spoon Restless ribbons in limbo's room Lost Ricochet said the bee to the stream Home is just a distant dream Lost And to think we've traveled such a long, long way

Grieve 03:53
Daddy is leaving The sky is deceiving The moon where the sun supposed to be An angry man running the scene And me in my living room And you in the car We're praying to no one to know who we are When we can't keep the leaves on the trees Let us grieve, grieve, grieve Let us grieve The band marches on But it's playing a song with a horn that is screeching To cover our screams And the angry man keeps the beat And me in my kitchen And you on the phone We're talking with no one Cause no one is home Best intentions Swallowed by screens Let us grieve, grieve, grieve Let us grieve The ghosts have arrived a they're saying don't bother The bones in your closer have grown so much larger And the angry man spins in his seat And me in the streets And you in the air I'm waving and waving and no one is there And the band has forgotten the key Let us grieve, grieve, grieve

Haven't seen a dragon fly in days No number signs No hints of gold No butterflies on flowered suns There's just the road You pointed us due north What's done was said What's said was done The scenes go by until they're one There's just the road How did all these years roll out behind me How come all these shadows still are here The journey now much shorter you remind me Its purpose though it still remains unclear Its purpose though it still remains unclear I cried for you You cried for me A crow goes by he was evicted from a tree The river's dry The breeze is gone There's just the road How did all these years roll out behind me How come all these shadows still are here The journey now much shorter you remind me Its purpose though it still remains unclear Its purpose though it still remains

Didion 03:32
Take it away six seven eight Today is the day don't be late The movie in your mind Looks a lot like mine You'll be the salt I'll bring the sweet I'll sing the tune You'll keep the beat Reading all the signs The stories of our times So we can live Draw me tree Draw me a face I'll take the close You'll take the space Blurred between the lines The stories of our times So we can live The movie in your mind Looks a lot like mine Reading all the signs Blurred between the lines The stories of our times

about

Elissa Margolin Portsmouth, New Hampshire

For more than a decade now, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Elissa Margolin has quietly built a catalog that stretches the traditional notion of what acoustic, folk-based music ought to sound like. Across her catalog, richly textured vocals, layered arrangements, and a subtle, jazz-like complexity are signatures of Margolin’s songwriting, gently reminding us these songs are hers. ... more
