lyrics

Fell out of the house and into your hands
Diamond promise of the promised land
I took it on faith, I was too young to wait

I was just trying to keep myself warm
Went looking for fire, found a summer storm
It blew me down south, knocked the words from my mouth

I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
Seven years is more than long enough to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
You call me a fool for leaving, better than a fool for loving you

We built a little house of stone and lies
Just 'cause it's not what I hoped for don't mean it's a big surprise
To watch you set 'em on up, drink your words from the cup

I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
Seven years is more than long enough to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
You call me a fool for leaving, better than a fool for loving you

Every answer has a question, somewhere down there in that well
Throw your pennies in the fountain, buy your ticket out of hell
Every answer has a question, somewhere down there in that well
Throw your pennies in the fountain, buy your ticket out of...

I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
Seven years is more than long enough to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
You call me a fool for leaving, better than a fool for loving you

about

Shelley Miller Chicago, Illinois

Shelley Miller isn't afraid to take chances. Less interested in genre than honesty, she pens darkly soulful tunes about life just outside the lines. Folk? Perhaps...late-night jukebox folk. Gospel for non-believers folk. Had-one-too-many-and-lived-to-tell folk. Rock hymns for the unhemmed folk.

Shelley released her 4th album, February, in March 2012. She lives in Chicago.
