lyrics

There are plenty of rows of flowers over the river and through the valley,
And much more to this trail than perhaps we had counted on,
So there’s plenty of time to sing our songs and dream as the day goes on,
And talk about the things that tear us down.

Because you and I,
we’ll lift each other high,
Until both of us,
Can comfortably reach for the mountain sky.

There’s plenty of time to pass the time with conversation or silly talks,
And more or less we become a clock that holds time to the barrel of a gun,
And we can take the deepest breaths because this year holds a fresh slate of memories,
And there’s not a moment that goes by, so far, where I’m not have the most fun.

Because you and I,
we’ll lift each other high,
Until both of us,
Can comfortably reach for the mountain sky.

Because you and me,
Are all we can be,
And the both of us,
Can stare out as far as we can see,

Upon these mountains that we climbed,
And earned this point of view,
Oh we climbed,
And we earned this point of view,
Earned this point of view.

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)
