The Wandering I & II

from The Wandering by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Here I stand,
By a lakeside,
Waiting for a sleight of hand,

To wisp me away,
And hold me tight by the bay,
Where the boats used to stay,

Where the boats no longer stay.

Winterised so many times,
Where I kept myself alone,
No one's meant to be alone, at all.

But if loneliness were to take my heart,
And spread itself in wondering,
I'd let myself keep wandering,
Waiting till I find myself a home.

And there I walk,
Finding a path among,
Past memories strung,

Up high on lamp posts,
I finally realise
Redemption in your eyes.

I've been winterised so many times,
Where I kept myself alone,
No one's meant to be alone, at all.

Dear loneliness, take my heart,
And spread yourself in wondering,
Let myself keep wandering,
Until I'm finally home.

No one should be alone,
No one's meant to be alone.
No one should ever be alone.

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)
