Houdini Winter

from Voices & Vices Volume II by Jonathan Atkins

/

lyrics

There's something sort of strange,
And there's something sort of haunting,
In the way the winter smoothes over,
And the wind pushes the dust of snow, taunting.

Ghosts and Apparitions dance melodically,
Leaping wistfully into the air, It's so unfair,
Because I sink so incredibly deep,
Into this snow, up to my hair.

Winter laughs honestly while holding out its hand
As it's inviting eyes stare lovingly and bright,
But as soon as my trust is won and my feet stand firm,
Winter shows off it's magic act and disappears into the night.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Houdini winter, you took my hand,
And swore you'd never let it go,
And you pulled me from,
Deep beneath the snow.

Oh, Houdini Winter, you broke free from my hand,
That you swore you'd never let go,
And you only show yourself,
When I'm buried deep beneath the snow.

Do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do,

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)
