Lyrics

Ellie Mae

I was a new boy from the city, amongst people of the sea
Though I stayed for hours none introduced themselves to me
The deep wood door, nor fireplace had at first felt strange
Nor the company of love so fair they called her Ellie Mae

Listen to me friend if you do not understand
I was just a traveler in a strangers land
Some say that I talk loud, but I do not say a thing
But to this day I'll swear our love from the blood within my veins
Oh the blood within my veins

Though we do not speak much, oh your eyes tell tales of things I'd rather see
And oh I have not lived since, Ellie Mae it is in you that I believe

All the men had furs to keep them from the cold New England wind,
Through their beards they did not notice, Ellie Mae was now my friend
She said, "Now the town has changed for all these antique shops and pubs
Oh they look for happiness so hard, to me its obvious"
We drank until we danced it seems, then danced until we drank
She spun her tales of catching whales, of evil ships she sank
She bragged of stealing hearts of wise men, of drinking strong mans wine
And being of weak hearted oh I knew she would take mine. Oh I knew she would take mine

Though we do not speak much, oh your eyes tell tales of things I'd rather see
And though I have not lived since Ellie Mae it is in you that I believe.

I awoke alone with all the money that I'd spent.
Floating through my head were all the words that she had lent
Tried as hard as I could to remember the evening past
All I could see was Ellie's face as she filled my final glass, she said
"Listen to me friend look closer you will find,
What I've told to not a sole but in you I will confide?
It's true what they say, a spirit freely roams, but I've been dead for eighty years
And this town is still my home, oh this town is still my home

Though we do not speak much, oh your eyes tell tales of things I'd rather see
And though I have not lived since Ellie Mae it is in you that I believe
