Ellis Delaney - You Are Royalty To Me

Copied!

How do you write a song for a queen?
How do you find the words or the melody?
Imagine a honky-tonk hummin' a symphony
Or a pedal-steel playin' a Beethoven suite
Oh, how do you write a song for a queen

When I was a kid
You'd sit on your throne
And we'd fly down the highway in your Lincoln Continental
You saw the good in me
You said I was bright
I felt like the sun seein' myself in your eyes
You'll never know just what your love means
Did you know you're royalty to me

Growin' up in Texas
In that small town
No, I didn't fit in so I kept my head down
I would run home from school to play cards with you again
We would laugh and cry while talkin'
You'll never know just what your love means
You are royalty to me

Now you wear a crown, silver, in place of your gold
And time has taken almost everyone you know
If you ever doubt you made a difference for me
I am who I am because I was loved
By a queen
I am who I am
I was loved by a queen
Mmmmm
Yeah, you will always be royalty to me

Ellis Delaney - Twisted Roads
Just take it easy Just lay back here with me I got you, I got you baby Just take it easy Just close your eyes and drift off to sleep I know the world is so unkind

Ellis Delaney - No More Running
{Verse 1} I wanna live undefended Hearts cannot be broken, even when they fall apart But I must not really believe that 'Cause I still defend myself

Ellis Delaney - Without a Compass
{Verse 1} You can be clever Right in front of me, you disappear Under a shadow A buried treasure, hidden somewhere I dive in to meet you I don't know where

Ellis Delaney - Close To You
{Verse 1} Let's pretend we’re taller than the highest part of Everest Giants with a lion's roar but lighter than a bird And we build upon our shoulders Buildings

Ellis Delaney - Trouble
Trouble hangs around like an old friend wearin' my clothes Singin' my songs Sayin' this is just how it goes Trouble hangs around A record playin' in my head

Ellis Delaney - You Are Royalty To Me
How do you write a song for a queen? How do you find the words or the melody? Imagine a honky-tonk hummin' a symphony Or a pedal-steel playin' a Beethoven suite Oh, how do

Ellis Delaney - Break The Spell
How many roads have I chosen? How many bags can I really put down? How many oceans must I dive into Before I drown Before I can be king of my conscience Before I wear

Ellis Delaney - How Would It Be
How would it be if everything that you thought you knew Was turned upside down opposite from your point of view How would you feel if the ground was really the sky and all of this time

Ellis Delaney - Right On Time
I wish for you to be free from doubt When you feel left behind or left out When the world seems brighter everywhere else And your mind is lost inside a wishing well Right on

Ellis Delaney - Everybody Wants to Belong
When everything is going right I worry it won't last and my heart becomes tight It can seem I won't ever find my way But I don't feel so alone 'cause I know,

Ellis Delaney

After moving from Texas to Minneapolis at age 16, Ellis got her start singing her own songs at open mics where she quickly dropped her often-mispronounced former last name (Bergeron; her new married name is Delaney). She joined a rock band in high school while also setting up her own record label to put out her first solo CD Soft Day in 1996. In college at St Olaf, she fronted the band Bobby Llama and in 1999 the band was voted Sam Goody/Musicland’s Best Unsigned Band in America. Ellis went solo and began touring full-time in 2000. Since then she has independently sold more than 40,000 copies of her eight CDs.

Ellis got her start performing the women’s festival circuit in 2000, with regular performances at the Michigan Women’s Music Festival. She also has headlined the National Women’s Music Festival in 2006 & 2008 and the Virgina Women’s Music Festival in 2009.
