about

Clockwork of branches ticks the time away, you lay your story down...

lyrics

Climb the fence behind the high school
Where the bad boys go
It's too damn cold for them tonight
It's just you and me and the first fall snow

Clockwork of branches ticks the time away
You lay your story down
Skipping words like rocks across a river
Watch 'em close until they drown
Nadine

Nadine...Nadine

You say your father was a weapon
And you the target of choice
We spread our coats like blankets
Over the fire of maple leaves
I curl into the smoke of your voice

Book bag hard beneath my head
Your fingers soft, cigarette on my tongue
And there is no word for being
This strong and this undone
Nadine

Nadine...Nadine

Bells are ringing, no one's listening
The bells are ringing, no one's listening to you

Must have been a month before
You skipped town
Yeah, about a month before
Those boys back there drowned

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.
