Rain Glistening and Its Musical Patterns

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

There are many things that lead me here.
There are many things that still take me by surprise.
But there's only one thing still keeping me in fear,
Still giving me chills every time it comes by.

There aren't many people who tend to walk outdoors when,
There's a tiny symphony of a million drops of water, and,
I've got this little voice in my head,
Singing dance with your friends, baby dance with your friends.

And there are millions and millions of reasons why I'm right here.
There are trillions and billions of rain drops conjuring patterns around my ears.
And there is light being spread from the water above my head,
And there are millions and trillions of reasons why our cheeks are flushed red.

You used to hold me in your gentle arms, and spin around with me,
As melodies came swiftly pouring splash around our feet,
And you'd tell me that you love me in a funny voice you do,
But now it's only me on these burdened, empty, wet streets.

And there are millions and millions of reasons why I'm right here.
There are trillions and billions of rain drops conjuring patterns around my ears.
And there is light being spread from the water above my head,
And there are millions and trillions of reasons why our cheeks are flushed red.

All I can think to myself,
is at least the rain smells wonderful.
and all the colours are nice,
At least the rain smells nice.

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)
