Ellen Moseley

homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.

....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Lyrics

SAD LITTLE NEST

I.

     What do I lose and what do I gain
      in living with you and living in pain
      Sad mama, my mama, my baby she says
      and I fight back the tears
      but theya019re winning theya019re flowing
      they flow down my sad cheeks
      and down my sad breasts
      and drop to the floor of my sad little nest

II.

      no peace, no rest in the house by the marsh
      a018cause a heart thata019s this heavy is a burden to carry
      it anchors my spirit to the depths of my soul
      and I fight back the tears
      but theya019re winning, Ia019m drowning
      in the tears on my cheeks
      that flow down my sad breasts
      and drop of the floor of my sad little nesta026.

      in the tears on my cheeks that flow down my sad breasts
      and drop to the floor of my sad little nest

      Fly, let me flya026far away from here
      fly, let me flya026a026a026.. far away from here
