Lead Me Still​/​Harvest Moon

from The Wandering by Jonathan Atkins

/

lyrics

Lead me beside quiet waters,
And refresh my soul,
I'm in need of a feeling,
To reap the deeper parts of this fool.

I've seen darkness in the caves,
And I've seen people come to save,
Themselves from all the muddy waters,

But that's not for me, I need the quiet waters for my soul.
Not for me, I'm still fading by myself it seems,
It's just me, but I've found kindness in your eyes,
And a smile to ignite the skies,
With all kinds fireworks,
Yet lead me, still, beside quiet waters,
And refresh my soul.

Lead me along the star missing streets,
To stare at the lights in the cold,
And hold my hand, because I swear to you,
It sends sparks all the way to my toes.

And maybe it's just me, but I need the quiet waters for my soul.
For you and me, I'm still fading by myself it seems,
It's just me, but I've found kindness in your eyes,
And a smile to ignite the skies,
With all kinds fireworks,
Yet lead me, still, beside quiet waters,
And refresh my soul.

Wandering from home,
To find out where the light is coming from.
The orange glow rests just below,
The horizon.

I hope you see,
This sight that amazes me.
While you stay,
So far away.
The moon shines,
As bright as it can.
Reminding me,
Just who I am,

With you everything is ok,
And all goes our way.
The moon shines,
As bright as it can.
Reminding me,
Just who I am,

With you everything is ok,
And all goes our way.

I've seen darkness cover the landscapes,
And people walk calmly into the blank rage,
But now I've seen bright lights brighten your face,
And all the little problems that I made inside my head,
Just sort of disappear with the anticipation that I've made.

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)
