Shelf

Cozy Home Music

A hundred quiet friends in rows

Are waiting on the shelf

I run my finger down the spines

Like keys upon a shelf

Each one a door, each one a road

Each one a little self

No hurry choosing where to go

The going's half the grace

Take the one that calls your name

The afternoon is wide

Some words are lamps for weary feet

And I could use the light

This one's cover's soft with years

Its ribbon's faded gold

It smells like every rainy day

It's ever seen me through

Take the one that calls your name

The afternoon is wide

Some words are lamps for weary feet

And I could use the light

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Take the one that calls your name

The afternoon is wide

Some words are lamps for weary feet

And I could use the light

A hundred quiet friends in rows

I'm taking one to tea

    Ribbon

    Cozy Home Music

A vintage-warm acoustic album for a slow reading hour at home - mellow fingerpicked guitar, soft piano, tender young vocals, and a whisper of vinyl crackle, following one quiet hour spent with a single good book in ten songs.

The story begins as she picks today's book in "Shelf," wraps herself in a blanket in "Curl," and opens the first pages in "Chapter."

She sinks into the stillness in "Margin" and wanders through the story in "Tale." She folds a page corner and takes a breath in "Dogear," her eyelids grow heavy in "Heavy," she starts to drift in "Nod," a little story visits her dream in "Fable," and the hour closes gently as she slips the ribbon bookmark in and returns in "Ribbon."

Each track carries just a drop of quiet grace, making this the perfect soundtrack for reading time, drowsy afternoons, and slow, bookish hours at home.
