Shelf Front Cover

My slippers never left the rug

But I am miles from home

I've crossed a sea in paragraphs

And climbed a hill of ink

The kettle's cold, the couch is still

But I'm not where you think

If I take the morning's wings

The far side isn't far

Carry me, story, carry me

Anywhere you please

The best kind of traveling

Is done with folded knees

I've borrowed someone else's rain

And someone else's spring

And when I lend my heart to them

It comes back twice the size

Carry me, story, carry me

Anywhere you please

The best kind of traveling

Is done with folded knees

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Carry me, story, carry me

Anywhere you please

The best kind of traveling

Is done with folded knees

My slippers never left the rug

But oh, the places gone

    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.
