Blackbird

from The Journey EP by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Early morning when the seas come in,
The seas in the dreams that we perceive.
Weather all around consists of,
Tearing down walls and this thing called love.

Do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do.

Break this light in from the distance please,
If not for this cracking earth, then at least for me.
Break the broken pieces and melt them down,
Turn them new, turn them to something new, create a whole new town.

Goodnight blackbird,
Your tune is so overheard,
You replace me with simple words,
So goodnight blackbird.

The quiet voice is screaming now,
Telling me to wake up from this deep sleep.
The screaming voice grows calmer now,
Reminding me to wake up from my sleep.

Goodnight blackbird,
Your tune is so overheard,
You replace me with simple words,
So goodnight blackbird.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
