The Kraken

from Oh Darling by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Oh brutal love how you carry my bags,
Through long beaten paths and heavy terrains,
Through wind, sleet and snow, to the ever glow,
Where I sit down at a stool and burry my shame.

Oh mother, my mother, keep track of this,
My hard times and struggles and all of life’s whips.
There are no mountains I could climb, no valleys to reclaim,
I’m sorry to say I sail sinking ships.

Oh the northern wind will take note of this,
And remember every dime to my name,
Spent forgetting broken paths that lead me astray,
Spent burying all of my shame.

Oh precious love always remember,
The days that we spend that are far from sober,
Don’t bring them up as a past is a past,
And those sunken ships never made it past the harbour.

Oh the northern wind will take note of this,
And remember every dime to my name,
Spent forgetting broken paths that lead me astray,
Spent burying all of my shame.

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)
